Delice de France, one of the UK’s leading frozen bakery specialists, has unveiled its 2026 Christmas range of savouries, sweet bakery and patisserie products.
Spanning 14 festive SKUs, the seasonal range offers delights for cafes, retailers, travel operators and restaurants, combining seasonal flavours in formats that offer something new yet nostalgic.
Leading the range is 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 cafes and retailers. Sales of Gingerbread Muffin more than doubled year on year in 2025.[1]
The Spiced Stollen muffin is the range’s standout – filled with an almond-infused custard and decorated with flaked almonds in a decorative panettone style paper case. A relative newcomer launched in 2024, sales increased by +5% year on year in 2025.[2]
These are supported by a duo of irresistible doughnuts. Delice de France’s Apple Pie Doughnut is an indulgent Christmas doughnut with a chocolate flavoured coating, filled with an apple pie flavoured filling and decorated with red pearls and green candy stripes. Chocolate & Orange Doughnut, meanwhile, is filled with a zesty orange filling, topped with a rich, milk chocolate and finished with vibrant orange-flavoured stripes.
With stollen sales expected to rise in the UK once again this Christmas, Delice’s Stollen Cake will return for cafes, garden centres and venues in need of quick dessert solutions. Inspired by a light fruitcake, this indulgent Christmas cake is dipped in smooth rum butter and finished with freeze-dried cranberries, chopped pistachios, and toasted almonds. For ease of kitchen operations, it comes pre-sliced into 14 portions.
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. Sales of Puff Lattice Mince Pies have increased by +65% since 2024.[3]
In savoury, Delice de France is bringing back its popular Pigs in Blankets Slice, which is sausage and bacon in a succulent gravy wrapped in delicious flaky pastry topped with a stuffing crumb. It is joined by a Christmas Cracker Roll, which offers all your Christmas dinner favourites in one: 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.”
