Global food importer and distributor Empire Bespoke Foods has unwrapped its Christmas 2026 catalogue featuring more than 100 new festive items, including a limited edition range of “The Grinch” seasonal specials.
“With a wide choice of classics, lots of brand new items and some innovative takes on festive favourites, we have a great range of products to help make your Christmas sales period the best yet!” commented Siobhan Molloy, National Account Manager – Seasonal.
New festive luxuries for this year include hand-wrapped “Coffee & Caramel” Panettone, French artisanal syrups for barista-quality coffee or hot chocolate, premium foodie ‘advent’ calendars from Italy and Germany, 3D hand-decorated gingerbread houses and even a range of limited edition “The Grinch” lebkuchen treats.
Last year’s best-sellers point to a growing consumer demand for unique products and authentic, sophisticated flavours, which included the Pertzborn hand-decorated Gingerbread House (sales up +441 per cent in 2025 compared to 2024), Vergani Marrons Glacés (+397 per cent) and Virginia Orange & Lemon Soft Amaretti (+337 per cent). In 2025, Empire Bespoke Foods’ total Christmas business grew +16 per cent year on year.
“We have partnered with leading European producers to offer retailers the finest Christmas products – each brand is a best-seller in its home market,” added Siobhan. “From German gingerbread to Italian panettone, our catalogue is packed with best-selling European Christmas products, perfect for gifting and sharing.”
