The sun may still be shining, but Iceland is getting into the festive spirit early this year offering customers a six-pack of mince pies for just £1.
The Christmas favourite is available in stores across the country now, but just be careful that the initial excitement over the early release of this savoury, seasonal special doesn’t wear off when December rolls around.
This year Iceland saw a spike in searches for ‘Christmas’ and ‘Mince Pies’ as early as July and during August the frozen food retailer saw 250-300 searches per day for the treat, indicating that shoppers are already prepping for the festive period, and it appears the supermarket is ready to feed that demand.
Andrew Staniland, Trading Director at Iceland Foods, said: “Christmas is always a huge time of year for Iceland and our shoppers. We’ve worked hard to create the perfect Christmas range for our customers this year and we’re proud of all the products included, there are a few surprises in there too. Our Mince Pies are incredibly popular and we expect 2021 to be no different.”
If the thought of driving to the store, parking your car, walking the aisles, waiting in line and getting through the checkouts sounds like too long to wait for your Mince Pie fix, Iceland can now promise a Mince Pie quicker than ever with same day deliveries across 400 stores.
Customers won’t need to hold out too much longer to get their hands on Iceland’s full Christmas range this year, which will launch in November.
