Pret launches fundraising Christmas sandwich – in July
Melanie May | 15 July 2021 | News
Mixing things up a bit, Pret A Manger’s Christmas sandwich is now in stores, with 50p from each one sold going to its foundation, which supports homelessness and poverty charities.
To promote the sandwich, Pret has teamed up with Slade frontman, Noddy Holder.
Apparently Pret has brought the sandwich back now after being inundated with messages from customers who missed out last December, due to pandemic restrictions.

The Pret Christmas Sandwich has thick slices of British turkey in a port and orange cranberry sauce, a herby pork stuffing, baby spinach leaves and free-range mayo. It’s also topped with crispy onions and will be on sale until the first week of August. The sandwich will then return during this year’s festive season.
For vegans and veggies, Pret is sharing the Vegan Nut Roast recipe on its social channels to ensure everyone has a chance to enjoy a taste of Christmas cheer this summer.
Clare Clough, UK Managing Director of Pret A Manger commented:
“Every year customers ask us for the Christmas sandwich to return earlier and earlier, and after many customers missed out on having one last year we’ve decided to stand by our mission of spreading joy through our food and coffee, and bring our iconic Christmas sandwich back early for a limited time this summer. While we can’t change the weather or the football scores this summer, we can help people celebrate and recreate some festive joy by reuniting them with their favourite Christmas sandwich.”
