About Time: You Discovered Pret’s 2018 Christmas MenuBy Alicia Grimshaw
There are many things that fill our heart with festive joy; watching Love Actually for the 7th time, bulk buying boxes of Celebrations, and Pret’s much anticipated Christmas menu, which is now available in stores nationwide. The sarnies, like last year, are back by popular demand along with new hot drinks and Christmassy bites.
For every Christmas sandwich and baguette sold, 50p will be donated towards the Pret Foundation Trust (PFT) to continue its work helping to alleviate homelessness.
