M&S launches limited-edition 'Countdown to Eid' Calendar for Ramadan in Scots stores

M&S is helping customers to celebrate the holy month of Ramadan with the launch of their exclusive advent calendar that is available in Scottish stores.

The high-street retailer has launched the limited-edition "Countdown To Eid" calendar to kick off the holy month which begins tomorrow, Saturday, April 2.

Priced at £15, the calendar will only be available for a limited time in select Scots branches, including Aberdeen and Edinburgh.

Ramadan is observed by the Muslim Community as a month of fasting, prayer, reflection and community and it will end on Sunday, May 1.

Each sunset, the fast is broken with Iftar - which is where this exclusive calendar comes in.

The calendar includes 30 hand-crafted Belgian chocolates (M&S)

M&S has said that their countdown calendar is "perfect for breaking your fast each evening and also makes a wonderful gift for friends and family."

Included inside are 30 hand-decorated date bites in five unique flavours – rose and pistachio; brownie and pecan; caramelised wafer and orange blossom; hazelnut and orange; and honeycomb – all covered in luxurious Belgian chocolate.

The retailer has also worked with Muslim food bloggers to bring easy Iftar recipes (M&S)

That's not all, as the retailer has announced a selection of "Ramadan essentials" that includes a Halal range, Baklava selection and Medjool dates.

And, if you're looking for some super easy Iftar meals, then M&S has worked together with some of the countries top Muslim food bloggers to make authentic dishes using M&S ingredients.

Some of the dishes include sesame chicken toast and Piri Piri Chicken, Jalapeño & Feta Pastries.

Customers can follow M&S' food press office on Instagram for more information on how to prepare the Iftar recipes.

M&S' £15 Countdown to Eid Calendar and range of Ramadan essentials are in-stores now.
