When will Festive Bakes be back in Greggs stores in Sheffield? Bakery announces 2021 return date

The savoury pasty is a firm favourite with customers at Christmas time, thanks to its festive flavours reminiscent of a Christmas dinner with all the trimmings.

Here is everything you need to know about its return.

When will Festive Bakes be returning to Greggs in Sheffield?

Good news – Greggs fans in Sheffield won’t have long to wait until the iconic Festive Bakes are back on the menu.

The bakery chain has confirmed they will be back in stores from Thursday, November 4, 2021.

The original Festive Bake was launched in 2009 and has returned every year since to please devoted fans.

What is in a Greggs Festive Bake?

The classic Festive Bake is filled with tasty pieces of chicken, sage and onion stuffing and sweetcure bacon, smothered in a creamy sage and cranberry sauce, and encased in crumb topped pastry.

It contains 453 calories and is priced at £1.60.

This year Greggs has also launched a Vegan Festive Bake, which will be filled with Quorn™ mycoprotein pieces, sage and onion stuffing and a vegan bacon crumb, finished with a sage and cranberry sauce, encased in delicious puff pastry.

The vegan bake contains 449 calories and will be the same price.

What vegan options are there at Greggs?

The new Bake marks yet another addition to the on-the-go retailer’s increasingly popular vegan range, following the 2019 debut of the Vegan Sausage Roll, 2020’s hearty Vegan Steak Bake and the Vegan Sausage, Bean and CheeZe Melt that took customers by storm this summer.

The bakery chain launched its brand-new autumn menu in September, featuring seven fall-themed products.

These included a roast chicken and stuffing baguette and a sticky toffee muffin for those with a sweet tooth – as well as a number of vegan options like vegan bacon and sausage breakfast rolls.

Its famous pumpkin spice latte also made a return, alongside some other winter warmers like spicy chicken and red pepper soup and a pack of hash browns.
