GREGGS has confirmed the 2020 release date of the much-loved festive bake.
The festive season may still be a long way off but the bakery chain has given fans something to look forward to.
Taking to Twitter and Facebook to make the announcement, the company posted: “If anything can save 2020, it’s the Festive Bake #79Days.”
That would put the launch date at Friday November 6, meaning fans only have a little over two-and-a-half months to wait.
The Festive Bake, which is typically released once a year at Christmas, is made from pieces of chicken breast, sage and onion stuffing and sweetcure bacon in a sage and cranberry sauce – all inside a classic puff pastry shell.
Fans celebrated the announcement with many calling for the release date to be pushed up.
One fan wrote: “We need it this year!” while another said: “Yes! Love a festive bake also looking forward to your pumpkin spiced latte!”
A third said: “Omg I hope I can travel to the UK from the USA for this.”
The announcement was also met with calls for a vegan version. The chain already has vegan versions of their iconic sausage roll and steak bake which have been a huge hit.
Greggs have yet to confirm how much a festive bake will cost. Last year it was £1.50.
There is also no word on what other festive items will appear on the menu this Christmas.
