UK bakery chain Gail's has expanded its seasonal drinks offering with three new white chocolate beverages as part of its 2026 Christmas menu.
The new drinks include Salted White Hot Chocolate, White Chocolate Mocha and White Chocolate Matcha. All three are made using a white chocolate syrup developed by Gail's with cocoa butter supplied by its chocolate partner Xoco.
The cocoa butter is pressed from cacao sourced and fermented through Xoco's partner farms, allowing the flavour of the cacao to come through in the finished ingredient.
Also joining the seasonal drinks menu is Black Forest Cold Brew, which combines cold brew coffee with a cherry purée made from real fruit and flavoured with star anise. The drink is finished with vanilla bean cream and cocoa powder.
Alongside the drinks launches, Gail's is introducing new additions to its Baker’s Table, including Sticky Toffee Madeleines and a Cavolo Nero Garlic & Pesto Bun.
The Sticky Toffee Madeleines are made with a date-based batter flavoured with cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, clove and coffee, coated in butterscotch sauce and finished with flaked salt.
The savoury Cavolo Nero Garlic & Pesto Bun combines brioche with cavolo nero and pecan pesto, ricotta, Gruyère and spinach.
The bakery has also updated two seasonal favourites. Its Turkey & Swiss Cheese Sandwich now features shredded turkey thigh and breast in a cream bun with bacon jam and chipotle mayonnaise, replacing the previous sliced-bread format.
The Turkey Hand Pie has also been reformulated with pulled turkey, caramelised onions and a spiced redcurrant glaze.
Returning festive products include Gail's Mince Pies, Panettone Slice, Christmas Bun, Ricciarelli and Iced Penguins.
The Christmas menu is available across Gail's bakeries, selected stores and delivery platforms Deliveroo and Uber Eats.
