Tapping into key seasonal consumer trends – indulgence, togetherness and gifting – the McVitie’s 2020 Christmas selection comprises the return of popular products – such as the festive edition of McVitie’s Family Circle and McVitie’s Jaffa Cakes Christmas Pole – alongside fresh innovation.
“Christmas is all about spending time with loved ones – and what better way to get into the festive spirit, with the people closest to you, than by indulging in a few delicious treats,” says Jonathan Bull, head of McVitie’s Commercial & Seasonal Brands at pladis UK&I.
“Whether it’s a quick snack to keep you going while the Christmas dinner is cooking, or settling down for the evening to share a box of biscuits, every product in the McVitie’s seasonal range has been skilfully selected as the perfect sharing treat for a range of consumption occasions.
“This year, we’re taking the range one step further by giving some of our bestsellers – McVitie’s Digestives and McVitie’s Jaffa Cakes – a festive transformation, offering retailers the chance to take an even bigger bite out of the £161 million seasonal sales opportunity.”
