Marks & Spencer’s latest festive dessert has sparked a social media frenzy, with British shoppers eagerly sharing their excitement about the new Popping Down The Chimney creation.
The £25 Christmas dessert, which serves 10 people, has captured the attention of M&S customers across social platforms.
M&S describes the festive pudding as a “Belgian chocolate mousse with a soft butterscotch caramel sauce centre, on a white chocolate and toasted popcorn crisp base, topped with white chocolate mousse”.
The dessert’s launch has generated significant buzz online, with customers already making plans to purchase it for their Christmas celebrations.

Social media users have flooded platforms with enthusiastic responses to the festive dessert, with one commenter declaring: “That looks insane.”
“I’ve found what I want to take for Xmas day”, wrote one excited shopper, whilst another simply stated, “yeah, I need that”.
Multiple users expressed their determination to purchase the dessert, with comments such as “Ooh, I’ll look for this on the weekend” and “We need to get this on Sat, the three of them would love it!”
While Britons have expressed their excitement to sample the seasonal sweet, the price point has sparked some discussion, with one user noting: “Looks delicious but it’s £25!”
But despite the cost, the overwhelming sentiment remained positive, with several shoppers sharing their anticipation through comments such as, “really hope I find this” and “that looks so good!”.
“Yum”, summarised another enthusiastic response to the seasonal creation.
The serving size suggestion has sparked playful debate, with several commenters questioning the stated portion guidance.
“Serves 10 – unlikely story”, quipped one user, whilst another joked with a friend about the dessert being perfect for “just me and you” rather than the suggested 10 servings.

While the M&S dessert garnered plenty of positive reactions, one sceptical shopper expressed their uncertainty about one aspect of the pudding: “I don’t know how I feel about popcorn base.”
Supermarket shelves across the UK have been stocked to the brim with festive finds as Christmas Day approaches.
Tesco recently shared a big change in its Brussels sprouts this year, with the promise that they are 25 per cent bigger and “noticeably tastier”.
