Pret A Manger launches a Christmas sandwich in July as people say the same thing

Christmas has come early as Pret A Manger is stocking the shelves with a festive themes sandwich.

Yes, you read that right. Christmas in July.

Scotland have barely dipped their toes into summer but the sandwich shop is eager to make up for the customers who missed out on Pret's iconic sandwich last year.

And it wouldn't be Christmas without Slade's Noddy Holder who is seen in the video sitting in the cafe, surrounded by Christmas decorations and mistakenly thinks Pret wants him back.

Taking to Twitter to announce the Christmas come-back, Pret wrote: IT’S CHRIIIIIISSSTMAAAS (in July) No one should ever miss our iconic Christmas sandwich so we’re bringing it back for one month only And what better way to celebrate than with the original Christmas icon, Noddy Holder.

The sandwich is filled with turkey, port and orange cranberry sauce, herby pork stuffing, spinach, mayo and crispy onions and is on sale for just one month only.

Pret will continue to donate 50p for every Christmas sandwich sold to The Pret Foundation to help tackle homelessness and poverty.

Customers flocked to the comments on social media in excitement.

"OMG!! You have made my day," One said.

Another added: "Bring it on"

"Oh...merry Christmas (in July)" A third wrote.

Pret is not the first business to bring Christmas to the shelves this summer.

Aldi launched 'Junemas' last month as a nod to those who missed out on festivities in December as restrictions tightened just days before Christmas.

Writing on social media they said: "Because you didn't get the Christmas you deserved this year, we're celebrating again on 25th June!"

Encouraging people to celebrate the day on 25 June, Aldi stocked pigs in blankets, mince pies and Christmas puddings for the families who could finally gather together.

So for those still wanting a taste of Christmas, Pret A Manger are selling their festive sandwich online or in-store.
