UK bakery chain GAIL's has launched its 2026 Christmas menu across its retail estate, introducing a bespoke range of white chocolate beverages, new sweet and savoury bakery lines, and reformulated seasonal lunchtime options.
The drinks rollout is underpinned by an ingredient partnership with cacao producer Xoco, using pressed cocoa butter sourced from Xoco's partner farms to formulate an in-house white chocolate syrup.
Seasonal Beverage Line-Up
GAIL's has added four cold-weather and speciality coffee drinks to its counter menu, balancing hot white chocolate infusions with a spiced cold brew option:
â Salted White Hot Chocolate: Formulated with GAIL's proprietary white chocolate syrup made from Xoco cocoa butter.
đ« White Chocolate Mocha: Espresso blended with steamed milk and the custom cocoa butter syrup.
đ” White Chocolate Matcha: Ceremonial-grade matcha paired with white chocolate notes.
đ Black Forest Cold Brew: Cold brew coffee layered with a star anise-infused real cherry purĂ©e, finished with vanilla bean cream and a dusting of cocoa powder.
New Bakery Additions
Alongside the beverage expansion, the bakery group has introduced two new items to its Baker's Table range, while updating the formats and recipes of two established seasonal savoury products:
đ§ Sticky Toffee Madeleines: Baked with a date-based batter spiced with cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, clove, and coffee, coated in butterscotch sauce and finished with flaked sea salt.
đ„ Cavolo Nero Garlic and Pesto Bun: A savoury brioche bun filled with cavolo nero, pecan pesto, ricotta, GruyĂšre, and spinach.
đ„Ș Turkey and Swiss Cheese Sandwich: Reformulated from a traditional sliced-bread format into a cream bun filled with shredded turkey thigh and breast, bacon jam, and chipotle mayonnaise.
đ„§ Turkey Hand Pie: Updated with pulled turkey, caramelised onions, and a spiced redcurrant glaze.
Returning seasonal core products include Mince Pies, Panettone Slice, Christmas Bun, Ricciarelli, and Iced Penguins.
The 2026 Christmas menu is available across GAIL's retail bakeries, selected grocery outlets, and via third-party delivery platforms Deliveroo and Uber Eats.
