M&S shares Christmas Colin the Caterpillar featuring edible chocolate sleigh filled with candy canes – ‘been waiting all year for this’
Marks & Spencer has unveiled its highly anticipated Christmas Colin the Caterpillar cake, featuring a festive makeover that’s set to delight shoppers across the nation.
The beloved chocolate caterpillar has been transformed for the holiday season, sporting a cheerful Santa hat and accompanied by an edible chocolate sleigh filled with candy canes and presents.
This seasonal centrepiece, dubbed the “Sleigh Ride Colin the Caterpillar,” represents M&S’s annual Christmas edition of their iconic cake character.
The launch marks a significant upgrade to the classic design, with M&S pulling out all the stops to create a show-stopping festive dessert.
In a significant upgrade from the original recipe, this festive edition contains 46% per cent more chocolate than the standard Colin the Caterpillar cake, making it M&S’s most chocolatey Christmas Colin ever.
The enhanced chocolate content features throughout the carefully crafted dessert, which consists of a chocolate sponge roll filled with chocolate buttercream and covered in milk chocolate.
The premium ingredients extend to the decorative elements, with the chocolate sleigh housing miniature chocolate candy canes and present decorations.
At 730g, this indulgent creation promises to deliver an extra special chocolate experience for the festive season.
The new Christmas Colin has generated significant buzz on social media, amassing nearly 100,000 views and 2,700 engagements within just three hours of its announcement across Instagram and Facebook.
Shoppers have flooded social media with positive responses to the £15 festive treat.
“I’ve been waiting all year for this,” wrote one excited customer. Meanwhile, others chimed in with comments like “We need this for Xmas day!” and “Iconic, love the sleigh.”
