Importer and distributor Empire Bespoke Foods has unwrapped its 2024 Christmas catalogue featuring a diverse range of foodie gift ideas, festive favourites and traditional treats from around the world.
As a long-established seasonal one-stop shop for seasonal inspiration, Empire Bespoke Foods is now giving retailers the opportunity to plan ahead and prepare for the busy Christmas season with some of the finest food and drink products including authentic German and Swedish bakery items, classic Italian confectionery and festive gifting options.
“While many of us are still planning our summer holidays, in retail terms the countdown to Christmas is now on and we know that our customers are already thinking about Christmas and the lines to stock in order to capitalise on the festive season,” commented Edward Rayment, Digital Marketing & E-commerce Manager at Empire Bespoke Foods. “We have once again joined forces with top quality producers from around the world to hand-select the very best festive ranges and indulgent treats for our customers to stock.”
New for Christmas 2024 are edible Christmas tree decorations, authentic gingerbread "mug buddies" from Germany – cookies that attach to mugs to help sweeten tea or coffee breaks, and a luxury Lebkuchen advent calendar which invites consumers to create an individual video message to watch while opening door 24!
Also making its UK on-shelf debut this year is the striking new packaging of the popular Virginia range of Italian seasonal bakery delicacies, in addition to new lines from Italian confectionery specialist Leone featuring a stunning festive hot air balloon design. Two new gin and vodka flavour kits, incorporating festive dried fruits and seasonal spices, will also help elevate the consumer’s at-home drinks experience this Christmas.
“Not only do all our Christmas lines taste fantastic but they look amazing too,” added Edward. “By planning ahead and being Christmas-ready well in advance, retailers can create some truly beautiful displays which are not only aesthetically attractive but can actively help drive footfall and increase basket spend at this busy time of year.”
