New Year’s Eve food ideas

Canapés from the Foodhall

Pop into the Foodhall from 11 December to pick up our full selection of hot party food bites. Create your own festive picky tea with our Collection Snowman Bao Buns, with handmade decorations and flavourful pad Thai centres. Our Collection Mini Tacos are generously filled with peppers and sweetcorn in a smoky tomato sauce. For Spanish-inspired flavours, load up on our Collection Paella Bites, Collection Mini Pecorino and Chorizo Tortillas, and our Christmas Charcuter-tree Pinchos. And don’t forget our Collection Spiced Potato and Spinach Dosa Rolls for a veggie-friendly bite.

Pick up a Dine In

Bring the flavours of your favourite restaurant home with our Gastropub Dine In. For just £15, you can dine in like you're dining out with a main, a side, and a starter or dessert to serve two. Our top picks? We love Tom’s Roasted British Duck Legs – two Gressingham duck legs nestled in a cannellini bean, smoked bacon, and sausage meat cassoulet. It’s perfect served with our vibrant Tenderstem Broccoli, Petit Pois and Cavolo Nero, followed by Molten Cookie Dough, with the most-indulgent gooey centre.

Champagne and fizz

The countdown is on, and with 2026 just a few clock strokes away, what better way to toast the new year than with a glass of Delacourt Brut Champagne? With refreshing notes of peach, vanilla and brioche, this bestselling fizz is exclusive to M&S.

For something a little different, pour a glass of our Classics Crémant de Bourgogne, a refined sparkling wine from Burgundy, with elegant minerality and delicate flavours of peach blossom, apricot and redcurrants – the perfect partner to canapés, smoked salmon or goat’s cheese.

Or pop open a bottle of Rockferne Brut, produced in Sussex and bursting with baked apple and ripe peach notes, finished with a subtle hint of honey.

Cocktail recipe ideas

Impress your guests by shaking up a new signature cocktail with the help of our tried-and-tested recipes. Try a foamy and festive Snowball cocktail, made with advocaat for a bubbly top, or a spicy Paloma – a fiery twist on the classic tequila cocktail, complete with a zesty coconut and lime rim. If you're after a low-alcohol option, our Cranberry Spritz packs a punch, using our low-alcohol aperitivo as a great alternative to spirits.
