Premium coffee house brand, Caffè Nero, has unveiled its delicious Christmas menu for 2024. Launching on Thursday 7th November, this year’s seasonal range is brimming with exciting new drinks and food inspired by trending Italian flavours, alongside a selection of returning customer favourites.
Kicking off the festivities is the Tiramisu Latte – set to be the showstopper of the season! A first of its kind, this drink is inspired by the much-loved Italian dessert that took social media by storm this summer. Featuring a thick creamy milk flavoured with Tiramisu syrup and rich chocolate, it’s crowned with an authentic Italian finger biscuit, perfect for dunking! Whether you prefer it hot or iced, with dairy or non-dairy milk, it’s a festive treat to delight the senses.
Next up is a popular flavour sporting a shiny new look for the festive period – the Caramelised Pistachio Latte, available iced as well. Fans of the Pistachio Latte can now enjoy a Christmas upgrade, which comes with the addition of whipped cream, sweet and sticky caramel drizzle and a generous sprinkle of green pistachio nibs.
And for those who adore pistachio, the Pistachio Hot Chocolate is also back, taking inspiration from its bestselling latte counterpart. This luxurious hot chocolate is sweet, nutty and chocolatey, topped off with whipped cream, green pistachio nibs and a dusting of chocolate powder – pure indulgence.
Also returning for the season is the Millionaires Hot Chocolate, inspired by the bestselling Caramel Shortbread. This drink is flavoured with salted caramel syrup for a hint of sweet and salty notes. Topped with a limited-edition festive chocolate cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce – the perfect winter warmer!
All drinks on the Caffè Nero menu this Christmas can be enhanced when enjoyed with the exclusive Winter Blend – returning better than ever. This rich, comforting blend combines beans from Guatemala, Brazil and Colombia, offering notes of orange, chocolate and toasted almonds for a truly festive flavour experience.
And remember, no Christmas menu is complete without a delicious range of festive sandwiches! This year’s highlight is the new Italian Porchetta Focaccia – a light and fluffy focaccia made with extra virgin olive oil and rosemary, filled with festive porchetta, salsa verde, provolone cheese, and caramelised onions. But that’s not all, back by popular demand, customers can also tuck into the Festive Feast Panini, Brie, Bacon & Cranberry Panini, and the all-time favourite Pigs Under Blankets Panini.
Plus, vegans, they’ve got you covered too! The much-loved Vegan Festive Feast Panini is making an epic comeback with a twist. This plant-based delight will satisfy your cravings and leave you coming back for more, featuring a new pumpkin seed-topped panini that delivers extra nuttiness and flavour. It’s generously filled with rosemary & thyme roasted carrot ribbons, creamy mozzarella, a spread of cheesy pesto, roasted leeks and finished with some baby spinach leaves.
Dessert lovers can look forward to the Profiterole Cheesecake – a delicious pairing of chocolate cheesecake and vanilla cream-filled profiteroles drizzled with dark chocolate on top of a buttery biscuit base. Or try a slice of the Black Forest Chouxnut, Caffè Nero’s iconic light and airy Chouxnut with a fruity and zesty cherry and vanilla mousse, topped with sour cherries and dark chocolate – an irresistible holiday treat. And let’s not forget the White Chocolate & Gingerbread Cake. Layers of moist gingerbread sponge with white chocolate and ginger frosting, decorated with a caramel swirl and flakes of shimmery chocolate and a chocolate gingerbread.
On the theme of gingerbread, the brand is also launching a new mouthwatering White Chocolate & Gingerbread Cookie. A classic festive flavour of gingerbread paired with luxuriously rich white chocolate chunks. The Festive Gingerbread Santa will also be back – the traditional, yet delicious snack pairs perfectly with a warm festive drink.
And finally, those with a sweet tooth will also be pleased to hear Caffè Nero’s Classic Mince Pie and Luxury Amaretto Mince Pie are making a triumphant comeback this year too!
Will Stratton-Morris, CEO at Caffè Nero UK, comments: “We’ve already received so many enquiries from excited customers about our festive menu and when it is coming. We’ve been working hard all year on the line-up so we’re really proud and excited to finally reveal our irresistible offerings for the holiday season.
“The new menu beautifully blends popular Christmas flavours with a Caffè Nero twist, featuring innovative new creations and returning favourites. After the triumphant success of the delicious Maritozzi bun this summer, we knew customers would enjoy experiencing more Italian influence during the festivities with the likes of our headlining Tiramisu Latte.
“It’s all about creating a magical treating experience for our customers during the most wonderful time of the year. We can’t wait to hear what people think!”
