Premier Foods brings flavour to the festive season with limited-editions

Premier Foods brings flavour to the festive season with limited-editions

In time for the Christmas season, Premier Foods is introducing four new limited-edition products across its flavour and seasoning brands, Bisto, Paxo and OXO. The festive line-up includes new Paxo Vegan Pork Sausage Meat Flavour Stuffing, Paxo Vegan Chicken & Bacon Flavour Stuffing, OXO Turkey Stock Pots, and Bisto Best gravy granules in Chicken & Cranberry flavour, as well as the return of festive favourites Bisto Pigs in Blankets Gravy granules, Bisto Best Turkey Flavour Gravy granules and Bisto Crispy Roast Potato Seasoning.

Christmas is a key season for retailers, providing them with ample opportunity to tap into the demand for ways in which shoppers can upgrade their traditional roast dinner with delicious seasonal flavours. Popular Christmas flavour profiles, such as sausage, turkey, chicken, and cranberry, remain top of shopping lists around the seasonal period. Premier Foods is expanding its household staple brands with a range of limited-edition flavours and seasonings that are hard to miss on shelf, so that retailers can make the most of these iconic festive favourites.


Paxo Vegan Sausage Meat Flavour Stuffing – Christmas meals often feature sausage meat; however, more and more consumers are now looking for meat-alternatives that don’t compromise on taste. Paxo is helping retailers meet this demand with the launch of its new vegan sausage meat flavour stuffing that brings a new twist to the traditional.

Paxo Vegan Chicken & Bacon Flavour Stuffing – With some consumers looking for more affordable options this Christmas, some may consider meats such as chicken. As such, Paxo’s new Chicken & Bacon Flavour Stuffing is the perfect accompaniment for the table this year. In fact, in recent years, 92 per cent of regular buyers are open to flavours outside of Sage & Onion, and the Paxo Vegan Chicken & Bacon Flavour Stuffing provides a flavour with a difference that’s vegan too.

Bisto Best Chicken & Cranberry Gravy – Cranberry sauce is synonymous with Christmas dinner and Bisto Best Chicken & Cranberry Gravy granules taps into this by bringing the seasonal flavour profile to a gravy.

Bisto Best Turkey Gravy and OXO Turkey Stock Pots – Turkey is and will always be a key flavour profile over the festive season. Premier Foods is re-launching Bisto Best Turkey Gravy granules and introducing OXO Turkey Stock Pots to deliver the depth of flavour and richness consumers desire at Christmas to elevate both their turkey dinners as well as leftovers.

“During the festive season, shoppers will be looking for great-tasting products that elevate their roast dinners and leftovers," said said Mark Alldred, marketing director for flavours and seasonings. "Bisto, Paxo and OXO are brands consumers know and love and can trust to provide great flavour to their delicious festive spreads.

“Both the new limited-edition launches, as well as the return of festive favourites, ensure that consumers can choose the perfect accompaniment to their main meal with a selection of flavour profiles and vegan options. These products are a great way in which shoppers can elevate their traditional roast dinner, taking it to a new level.”

Premier Foods is also bringing back the popular Bisto Pigs in Blankets Gravy granules that, in 2022, was one of the category’s bestsellers in the four weeks leading up to Christmas. Bisto Crispy Roast Potato Seasoning in Rosemary & Garlic will also be returning to shelves this Christmas. The Bisto Crispy Roast Potato Seasoning is a product perfectly positioned to enhance flavour and help consumer create something special.

Products are available now in convenience stores.

Pernod Ricard UK ignites festive spirit with marketing push

As December rapidly approaches, Pernod Ricard UK is ramping up its festive marketing efforts, anticipating a resurgence in consumer confidence after a challenging year. The UK’s second-largest wine and spirits supplier is set to inspire consumers to choose Premium+ Spirits as the perfect gift or the ultimate addition to any home celebration. Throughout 2024, Premium+ Spirits have consistently outperformed Standard offerings, making this higher end of the sector a vital margin driver.

“Since last Christmas, consumer confidence has been on the rise and the outlook for the final month of 2024 is positive," said Chris Shead, Off-Trade Channel Director for Pernod Ricard UK. "Gifting and hosting remain two key trends and retailers should focus on increasing space in-store for Premium Spirits that act as the perfect gift or cocktail ingredient when wanting to show off in front of friends and family. Where possible, we encourage retailers to prioritise categories that have been capturing the hearts of consumers and this year, our big winners have been Altos Tequila, Kahlúa and Bumbu Rum, and we expect our Champagnes, G.H. Mumm and Perrier-Jouët, to be the toast of choice for festive parties this year.”
