The mouthwatering sweet treat is just one of many tasty new plant-based products launched at the high-street retailer for the upcoming festive season.

Marks & Spencer has been expanding its plant-based range with some delicious new launches including ice creams, marshmallows, and decadent desserts in recent months.

The latest addition includes Mindfulbite’s Italian Vegan Christmas Cake.

Available to purchase in store now, this 100% plant-based cake is made using wheat flour, cane sugar, sunflower oil, candied orange peels, shea butter, and natural flavouring, whilst being free of palm oil⁠, GMOs, and trans fats⁠.

The veganettone is also available at Ocado and costs £14.99, or  £3.99 for a mini version.

 Food account Vegan Food UK shared the news with its 140K followers and the post was soon flooded with comments.

 “Yummmm! I love this time of year! So many good treats coming out!,” wrote one user

“My life now is complete,” commented another.
