M&S light-up snow globe gin is back for Christmas 2021 and it's magnum sized

M&S has delighted shoppers by releasing its popular light-up snow globe gin liqueur for the festive period this year - and it's magnum sized.

The sparkling drink became a huge hit in 2021, and this year it has doubled in size to a whopping 1.5litres - that's enough to serve all your friends and family at holiday parties this year.

The limited edition gin, exclusive only to M&S, hit store shelves yesterday for just £40 and joins the retailers' sell-out light-up snow globe gin liqueur range which boasts three festive flavours: Clementine, Spiced Sugar Plum and Madagascan Vanilla.

Complete with edible shimmering edible 23-carat gold leaf and silver leaf - AND playing a magical festive tune - it sounds like it will get everyone of us in the festive spirit.

M&S have said that this epic tipple is a must have for all gin lovers and also adds a brand new flavour to their popular festive gin range: deliciously seasonal Blood Orange Gin Liqueur.

It's perfect served on the rocks, topped up with Prosecco or with premium tonic water for the ultimate festive G&T with a twist.

This mega-sized snow globe also doubles as a striking festive table centrepiece: With it's stunning festive nutcracker themed illustration of beautiful ballerinas, toy soldiers and snowy scenes, it's sure to bring the holiday spirit to all your festivities this year.

Jenny Rea, Head of Snow Globe Gin Liqueurs at M&S, said: “I can’t wait for customers to see this ULTIMATE Snow Globe Gin Liqueur Magnum we’ve created this year. It’s been a closely guarded secret all year and I’m super excited to see people’s reactions. I do hope they fall in love with it as much as we have!”

Their light-up snow globe gin range proved to be incredibly popular last Christmas with one flying off the shelves every three seconds - so, you're advised to get yours as soon as possible to avoid any disappointment.

This year also features a new Spiced Sugar Plum Gin Liqueur with warm festive spices – it tastes like a mince pie in a glass.

And, for the first ever time, a rum has joined the festive line-up, with M&S releasing a NEW Madagascan Vanilla Spiced Rum Liqueur.

With gorgeous light-up bottles inspired by The Nutcracker ballet, make sure you get your hands on the whole collection for the ultimate festive treat.

All the light-up snow globe gin liqueurs are available in M&S stores across Scotland, as well as being able to be purchased online, so get yours now before it's too late!

It comes as Marks and Spencer's data shows that us Scot's are partial to a tipple over the festive period, particularly a classic G+T, as sales stats have shown that we outsell South Wales and London for purchases of Christmas themed gin.
