The arrival of Greggs’ Festive Bake is eagerly awaited by the people of Liverpool each year - and considered by some to be a symbol that the holiday season has arrived.
The bakery has begun its countdown to the return of the festive favourite earlier than ever - 100 days before it arrives.
The popular pastry returns to stores on Thursday, November 7, which is a whole day earlier than last year.
Greggs confirmed the return on Twitter in a post that read: “FESTIVE BAKE. NOVEMBER 7TH. TELL A FRIEND.” alongside an image of the pastry.
The Festive Bake is made from succulent pieces of chicken breast, sage & onion stuffing and sweetcure bacon in a creamy sage and cranberry sauce - all wrapped in golden puff pastry with a crunchy crumb topping.
You can follow the countdown via www.isthefestivebakeoutyet.com , right down to the second.
