Christmas Menus 2026 in the UK: Greggs, Costa, KFC, Burger King and Wetherspoon Dates

Greggs says its festive range was in shop from 22nd October 2026, and Costa Coffee’s Christmas menu launched across the UK and Ireland the same day, while stocks last, Retail Times reported on 20 October. Burger King UK followed on 3 November, Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) starts its Gravymas range on Monday 9 November, and Wetherspoon’s Christmas menu starts on Thursday 12 November, according to the Wetherspoon website. The table counts the days each menu has before Christmas Day.

Weekdays and day counts are ours, computed from the dates in each source. “Days on sale” counts from the start date to 24 December 2026, both days included. It is a count of calendar days, not a promise that an item is in stock on each of them.

What Greggs has in its 2026 festive range

Greggs lists a Festive Bake, a Pepperoni Pizza with Hot Honey, Pigs in Blankets, a Festive Flatbread, a Festive Feast Baguette and a Pigs Under Blankets Toastie. Its announcement gives no prices and no end date. Our Greggs Festive Bake story covers the range.

Costa Coffee’s menu launched in stores across the UK and Ireland on Thursday 22 October, while stocks last, according to Retail Times and What’s The Jam. The headline drink is a Golden Hazel Latte with Ferrero Rocher, and an Iced Penguin Gingerbread Biscuit drink follows from 5 November. What’s The Jam says Costa has published no prices. More in our Costa Christmas menu 2026 story.

Burger King UK Christmas menu 2026

Retail Times reports that the Burger King UK festive menu launched on 3rd November at participating restaurants nationwide, and names an Ultimate Camembert Wagyu as its headline item. Brit Brief calls it the chain’s first Christmas menu in over a decade and says the festive items are available from 3 November, but how long they stay on sale has not been confirmed. Neither report in our check gives prices.

KFC Gravymas range, 9 November to 3 January

Britbrief (28 October) and Foodbible (29 October) both report that the Gravymas range runs from Monday 9 November to Sunday 3 January at participating restaurants. Both give the Gravymas Burger at £7.99. Our KFC UK Christmas menu story lists the rest of the range.

Wetherspoon Christmas menu dates

The Wetherspoon website says: “The Christmas menu will be available at Wetherspoon’s pubs from Thursday 12 November until Thursday 31 December” (excluding Christmas Day). The banner prints no year. Both weekdays match 2026, and the feature it links to is titled “christmas-at-wetherspoon-2026”. Dishes and prices are not confirmed.

Tesco’s Christmas meal deal is available from 12 October 2026 at £3.85 with Clubcard, according to Retail Times (5 October) and Grocery Gazette (6 October).
