One delighted shopper exclaimed, “Get these on the Christmas shopping list!!” while another cheered, “They’re back!!”
What Makes This Christmas Edition Special?
This year’s limited Christmas edition of the Percy Pig Family is just in time to elevate your festive spirit. If you’re a longtime fan, you’ll be thrilled to know these are more than just sweet treats; they come with a flavorful twist of holiday cheer! Although specific flavor details remain a bit of a mystery, they are expected to join the extensive Percy Pig collection, which has delighted candy lovers for years.
If you’re looking to snag some, they are also available online at Ocado, selling for approximately £1.90 for a 170g pack. These Christmas sweets are not just regular gummies; they are lovingly crafted with real fruit juice for that authentic taste, wrapped up in a special festive makeover.
Percy Pig’s Journey Through Sweet History
Percy Pigs first graced the M&S shelves back in 1992, introducing a delightful world of fruity flavors like strawberry, blackcurrant, and raspberry. Over the years, Percy has expanded his sweet family, welcoming other cute characters such as Candice Cow and Sharon Sheep. His adventures even led him to romance Penny, another cherished character, allowing adorable Percy piglets to join the lineup!
In 2014, the sweet family welcomed more flavors, including mango-flavored Timmy Tiger and blackcurrant-flavored Poppy Panda. Fast forward to 2022, and all Percy products have become vegan-friendly, as M&S shifted away from gelatin. Now you can indulge guilt-free in the delightful Percy smoothies, biscuits, and hampers, as well as an entire range of Percy-themed merchandise like kitchen accessories, bedding, and even a neon light!
Temporary Goodbyes: The Percy Pig Phizzy Chews
The joyous news of the Christmas edition comes on the heels of some bittersweet announcements from M&S. Just recently, the beloved Percy Pig Phizzy Chews were discontinued as part of a larger shake-up within the Percy range. The Phizzy Chews earned rave reviews upon their release but, unfortunately, fell out of favor, prompting M&S to remove them from shelves.
Customers were heartbroken, with one superfan lamenting on X, “I’ve been into five different stores now, and they are nowhere to be seen! They were my all-time favorite sweets, and I don’t know what I’m going to do without them!” It’s a testament to the strong connection fans have with this adorable sweet character.
