Co-op has unveiled its 2025 Christmas lineup, with NPD spanning food to go, party food, mains, desserts and seasonal bakery. The range is tailored to its convenience shopper base, with phased launches running from September through to December.

Hero flavours for the season are gingerbread and maple, which appear across sweet bakery and desserts, including Gingerbread & Maple Mince Pies, Gingerbread & Maple Puddings and a Gingerbread & Maple Celebration Cake. Party food highlights include Irresistible Prawn Toast Gyozas with Soy & Lime Dip and Vegetable Fritter Slider Bao Buns, while mains include a Chicken, Ham Hock & Cranberry Pie and a brie, truffle and honey drizzle pizza. 

Food to go is a main focus for the retailer, leading with a first-to-market turkey double dip ‘n’ dunk wrap, complete with sage & onion gravy and a crumb pot for dipping – setting Co-op apart from rivals sticking to classic festive sandwiches. With Asda leaning on nostalgia for its 60th anniversary range and Tesco and M&S doubling down on premium showstoppers, Co-op is making its mark with a more convenience-led, flavour-driven approach designed for quick trips to the shops and smaller festive gatherings.

“Consumers are short on time over the festive period, so as a convenience retailer, we know we’re well placed to serve the spontaneous and quick shopping missions,” says director of Co-op own brand & technical Nicole Tallant. “The addition of delicious newness in food to go, party food, bakery and treats & crisps will help us to stand out amongst other retailers and encourage consumers to cross the road to Co-op stores.”
