Iceland shoppers were delighted to see an exciting edition hit the shelves – and they could become a festive favourite.

The budget supermarket rolled out Gingerbread Oreo sweet treats just in time to welcome in the Autumn season.
And, the tasty bikkie could also be the perfect fit for Christmas.
A helpful customer shared the information in the Extreme Couponing and Bargains Facebook group.
“Oreo Gingerbread Biscuits Spotted In Iceland,” they wrote.
One fan penned: “Already had some from them!”
Another bargain hunter added: “Right that’s it, I know where I’m going tomorrow.”
“We have to try these,” wrote a third.
Other glowing reviews read: “These are amazing!”
However, some claimed the goodies boasted more of a cinnamon taste, rather than gingerbread.
“Very strong cinnamon taste. They’re ok but you have to love cinnamon and be in the mood for them. Wish they were more like gingerbread,” said one.
This isn’t the first time chocolate fans were overjoyed to discover a different flavour of Oreo.
A picture of Vanilla Latte flavoured Oreos was posted in the popular Facebook group ‘New Foods UK’.
The post read: “Brand new Vanilla Latte Oreo, these are really good!
“The creamy vanilla flavour works so well with the coffee flavour, we are stocking up on these, Now available at Co-op.”
If this doesn’t take your fancy, Oreo also one-upped their iconic peanut butter flavour.
They’ve now blended it with a rich milk chocolate to create a mouth-watering taste.
Hitting the shelves alongside it came a fresh new flavour, blueberry ice cream.
The blueberry ice cream edition features a rich, smooth blueberry creme sandwiches between two of the classic crunchy chocolate biscuits that features in an ordinary Oreo.
It comes as shoppers also can’t get enough of a new festive McVitie’s biscuit.
The iconic biscuit maker also launched a new gingerbread variety of milk chocolate digestives in the run up to Christmas.
And, the company rolled a new “indulgent” product earlier this year that will make your tastebuds excited.
The flavours include Caramel Chocolate Rounds, Chocolate Cream Swirls, and Chocolate Caramel.
Meanwhile, more sweet-tooth shoppers raved about Quality Street bringing back a favourite flavour.
And it’s set to return in time for the festive season.
The coffee creme flavour chocolate was last seen in Quality Street tubs over 20 years ago, until the chocolatier reintroduced it last year.
Nestle has confirmed that the sweet treat will be available once again this Christmas.
Two big name chains bring back festive favourites
By Hana Carter
TWO huge chains have already started getting into the festive spirit.
Christmas favourites will be returning to menus at Costa Coffee and Greggs.
The coffee chain will be serving up their much-loved Terry’s Chocolate Orange Muffin, while Greggs will be dishing out the Sweet Mince pies.
They are following in the footsteps of supermarkets which have already started stocking shelves with festive food.
The wider Christmas menus will be rolled out later in the year.
Costa Coffee
The coffee shop is bringing back its own spin on the humble, yet mouthwatering, mince pie.
The Mince Tart is gluten-free and suitable for vegans and looks almost too good to eat.
Adorned with a pastry star and a sprinkle of icing sugar, the slice is the perfect treat to accompany a frothy coffee.
For those who love a classic, the traditional All Butter Mince Pie has also returned to Costa.
The beloved Terry’s Chocolate Orange Muffin is perfect for chocolate lovers, featuring a rich chocolate and orange muffin filled with sauce in the same flavour.
The sweet treat is topped with a Terry’s segment.
Nishant Bhatia, director of Global Food Strategy and UKI Food at Costa Coffee, said: “We’re excited to bring some Christmas magic to our customers a little earlier this year!
“Christmas is all about coming together with friends and family, and what better way to catch up than with a delightful festive sweet treat, perfectly paired with a Costa coffee.”
Greggs
The best way to kick off the start of the festive season is undoubtedly with a Greggs Sweet Mince Pie, which fans can indulge in for just 65p per pie.
For those looking to spread the festive cheer with their friends and family, a pack of six Sweet Mince Pies is available for only £2.25.
Vegan lovers of Greggs can also savour the festive favourite, as the vegan-friendly recipe consists of a crumbly shortcrust pastry, filled with a sweet mincemeat made from vine fruits, Bramley apple, candied orange and lemon peel.
