Empire Bespoke Foods has launched its Christmas 2026 catalogue, featuring more than 100 new seasonal products, including a limited-edition range themed around The Grinch.
New launches include a hand-wrapped Coffee & Caramel panettone, French artisanal syrups designed for coffee and hot chocolate, premium foodie advent calendars sourced from Italy and Germany, 3D hand-decorated gingerbread houses and limited-edition The Grinch lebkuchen (traditional German Christmas gingerbread cookies).
The move follows strong festive sales last year, with demand continuing to grow for more distinctive products and premium flavours. Standout performers in 2025 included the Pertzborn hand-decorated Gingerbread House, which recorded sales growth of 441% year on year, Vergani Marrons Glaces, up 397%, and Virginia Orange & Lemon Soft Amaretti, which grew 337%. Overall, Empire’s Christmas sales increased by 16% year on year in 2025.
The Christmas 2026 catalogue focuses heavily on European festive specialities, with the supplier working with producers across key seasonal categories such as German gingerbread and Italian panettone, aimed at gifting and sharing occasions.
The order deadline is 29 May.
