Mince pies, wrapping paper and chocolate coins have been spotted in just enough shops to let us know that Christmas is coming.
However there’s one item which isn’t available yet but is becoming as synonymous with the Christmas build-up as Starbucks’ pumpkin spice latte is to autumn.
Yes, the Greggs Festive Bake.
You can put out your selection boxes and chocolate coins and say the Coca Cola Advert is the start of Christmas all you like but I think you’ll find what we’re all waiting for is @GreggsOfficial’s Festive Bake to arrive.

And to help people plot their Christmas dining, there’s even a website: Is The Festive Bake Out Yet, giving a to-the-second countdown until the popular snack is back in the stores.
While the site has only just regained attention, it was actually launched in 2017. It has been in countdown mode since the bake was taken off the menu after last Christmas.
The Festive Bake costs from £1.50. It includes chicken breast, sage and onion stuffing, sweetcure bacon and sage and cranberry sauce in puff pastry with a crumb topping.
Count down to the big day here.
