Highlights of the range are a five-strong selection of thaw-and-serve muffins, available in Christmas Yule Log, Spiced Stollen, Cranberry & Orange, Double Chocolate Santa and Gingerbread Muffin varieties, presenting popular flavour combinations in an on-the-go treat for retailers.
The Spiced Stollen muffin is described as an almond-infused custard and decorated with flaked almonds in a decorative panettone style paper case, while the Gingerbread Muffin is looking to build on strong sales in 2025.
Doughnut duo
Two doughnuts are also included in the range this year. Delice de France’s Apple Pie Doughnut is an “indulgent Christmas doughnut with a chocolate flavoured coating, filled with an apple pie flavoured filling decorated with red pearls and green candy stripes,” it said.
The Chocolate & Orange Doughnut, meanwhile, is filled with an orange filling, topped with a rich milk chocolate finished with orange-flavoured stripes.
Delice de France is also relaunching its Shortcrust Mince Crowns, Puff Lattice Mince Pies and Mini Mince Pies, available in units of 100, 80 and 81 respectively.
Savoury lines
Over with savoury lines, the Pigs in Blankets Slice is returning for 2026, made of sausage and bacon in a succulent gravy wrapped in flaky pastry, topped with a stuffing crumb.
The slice will be joined by a Christmas Cracker Roll, which offers festive roast dinner favourites in one package - turkey, pork and cranberries wrapped in butter enriched pastry with a sage and crumb sprinkle.
Commenting on the range, Delice de France CEO, Thierry Cacaly, said: “Christmas is the number one bakery opportunity for retailers and foodservice businesses and the window to grow sales has already started.
“It’s a time when shoppers are happy to spend more for an indulgent festive treat and so we’re proudly supporting our customers in taking a premium approach to their seasonal bakery range this year.”
