Marks and Spencer are set with their Made Without range for this Christmas with a range of gluten free products for us Coeliacs across the Food to Go and the instore range of products, from savoury Christmas tart and turkey with all the trimmings to shortbread and mince pies. It maybe a compact range but there is still sure to be something for every Coeliac whatever your taste.

It's October which means everywhere is now getting their Christmas ranges in, Sainsburys started with their gluten free Christmas products weeks ago, everywhere else have been a bit more sensible and waited!
This year Marks and Spencer have a compact range of gluten free products, but there is something for every Coeliac I think, with a selection of different products rather than 4 different types of mince pies like in some places.
Let's delve into what goodies us Coeliacs can look forward to this festive season.
Made without butternut squash and cheddar tart
Made without yule log
Salmon and prawn towers
Stuffed turkey breast joint
Wagyu rump of beef
Three fish roast
Outdoor bred garnish selection
Hopefully, that gluten free yule log makes its way to stores as well but with it being on the food to order list I'm not optimistic. If it doesn't appear in physical stores, it is available on Ocado if you can get deliveries from them.
Over the last week the Marks and Spencer stores have also been getting in the special Christmas Made Without products they sell on the shop floor too. There are never too many choices, however, this year we do have a few more gluten free Christmas things rather than just mince pies, cake and Christmas pudding.
So what do we have this year to choose from...
Mince Pies £4
Christmas Pudding £7.50
Iced Fruit Cake £6
Yule Log £15 (on Ocado, not yet sure if in physical stores)
Turkey feast quiche £5.50
Christmas sandwich (not in yet, but due in soon)
Speculoos shortbread tin £7 (unfortunately only available in metal light up tin)
Chocolate Santa (dairy free) £1
Truffle selection (dairy free) £1
I have already tried the gluten free speculoos shortbread and it is lovely, the only disappointment is that they are only available in a metal tin and I really don't want to pay £7 each time and have a shed load of light up tins, be nice if they sold in normal packets too.
Overall it is a fairly good selection by M&S standards who have been known just to do the usual gluten free mince pies, Christmas pudding and Christmas cake. Love this year they have a gluten free savoury option in form of a quiche too, something Coeliacs don't get very often!
What are you most looking forward to trying out?
