And shoppers taste buds were sent salivating even further after the retailer debuted a range of seven new festive sandwiches in its cafes earlier this month, and the Turkey Toastie with Gravy Dipper has already become a bit of a TikTok sensation.
M&S' cafe item has given the humble toastie a bit of a festive twist, as it is packed full of shredded British turkey breast, smoked British ham hock, stuffing, cranberry ketchup and nutty Emmental cheese - to top it all off, there is a pot of gravy to dip into.
