As the UK’s love affair with all things gingerbread continues, Nestlé, the world’s largest food and drinks company, has introduced two exciting limited editions to the nation’s shops this winter.

While it’s always been a sweet staple in British kitchen cupboards, recently there has been a boom in gingerbread flavour’s popularity as it’s teamed up with other home staples to create everything from fancy cocktails to decadent chocolates. Joining the gingerbread family for the 2018 season, Nestlé introduces two flavoursome innovations: Nescafé Gold Gingerbread Latte and Gingerbread Matchmakers by Quality Street.

Taka Ota, Nescafé Senior Brand Manager said: “Our Gingerbread Latte first debuted as a limited edition back in 2013, but this year its back for another limited run after popular demand! With its delicate warming flavour, it couples perfectly with a bite of stollen or a small mince pie as you snuggle in front of a toasty fire on a chilly afternoon. We are all warm and cosy here at Nestlé HQ just thinking about it!”

Rebecca Holt, Quality Street Brand Manager said: “Nestlé likes to move with seasonal trends and recipe innovations so it was only right we brought our latest limited edition to UK consumers in time for the festive season! Perfect for sharing with friends at your work Christmas party or with the family in front of the latest boxset, Gingerbread Matchmakers by Quality Street demonstrate our commitment to produce exciting, new variations of much loved classic treat.”

Quality Street Gingerbread Matchmakers are available exclusively at Tesco and Nescafé Gold Gingerbread Latte is available in the coffee aisle in shops across the UK.
