If you’re a fan of Marks & Spencer’s festive treats, you might expect the premium price tags to match the quality and taste. However, not every item lives up to the hype, especially when you’re spending around £10 on a single product.
This article will help you spot which M&S treats might not be worth your money, so you can make better choices when picking festive snacks. It’s always good to get the most value from your shopping, especially during the busy Christmas season.
Very Merry Munch Mix Christmas Tin
If you’ve bought the Very Merry Munch Mix Christmas Tin, you might have found it a bit disappointing for the price. The £10 cost doesn’t always match the amount inside, and some say the mix feels a little sparse.
You get a blend of milk and white chocolate popcorn, salted pretzels, and caramel almonds. However, a few shoppers have mentioned the contents arriving crushed or stale, which isn’t what you want from a festive treat.
If you’re after a similar mix but want to save money, you might find better value with refill packs or competitors’ products. The original mix is nice but not always worth the full £10 tag.

Dine In Meal for Two with Tom Kerridge
If you’ve tried the Dine In meal for two with Tom Kerridge, you might have noticed the price has jumped to £15. That’s quite a step up from the previous £12, especially when the portions and packaging stayed mostly the same.
You get to pick a starter or dessert, plus a main and side. It’s a cosy pub-style meal designed to feel a bit special at home.
Still, many feel the price increase isn’t quite justified, making it a tricky buy when you’re looking for value without compromise. Check out the latest details on the Tom Kerridge Gastropub range.
M&S Popular Returning Dessert
You might have noticed one of M&S’s favourite desserts making a comeback. Their sticky toffee pudding, a long-time classic, has returned to the shelves after some time away.
It’s a crowd-pleaser for many, though some shoppers have mentioned they weren’t too happy with the price. Still, it remains a popular choice if you’re after something warm and comforting.

Easter Buns at £3.50
You might be tempted by the new Dippy Egg Filled Hot Cross Buns from M&S, priced at £3.50 for six. They’ve been popular, but some shoppers felt the cost didn’t match the taste or size.
If you’re looking for a treat that feels special but isn’t too pricey, these might not be the best value for you.
While the buns are a nice Easter option, plenty have said they’re “not worth the £3.50 price tag.” It’s worth trying if you want something festive, but don’t expect a standout bargain.
