Avoid the chaos of giant supermarkets and the parking headaches of town centres by browsing the aisles of your local SPAR.
Convenient locations and long opening hours (check those of your local store ) mean you’ll feel relaxed and happy as you shop its fantastic range of own-brand products.
Mince pies
It’s never too early to have your first mince pie! The delicious SPAR Luxury All Butter Mince Pies are multi-award winning and carefully crafted to ensure maximum flavour and freshness. Topped with a star, these are guaranteed to prettify any plate. Indulge in the spirit of Christmas and pick up a box from your local SPAR.
The drinks cabinet
SPAR’s wines are carefully selected by master of wine, Philippa Carr.
The Seashell Bay Sauvignon Blanc is a delicious South African white; the Marqués de Vinos Reserva Rioja is a red aged for 20 months in oak barrels.
Serve party guests SPAR’s own German Salami and Smoked Cheese, and Mixed Olives with Garlic and Chilli. And, just in case Santa expects a drink to be left out at your house, SPAR also stocks French Brandy and its own Glen Dhu Whisky.
Please note alcoholic products are only available to people aged 18+. SPAR follows the ‘challenge 25 policy’ so you may be asked for ID when purchasing. Please drink responsibly. Do not drink if you are pregnant.
Sprouts and peas
Cut down on Christmas dinner prep time by letting someone else do the cutting for you. And reduce shopping time by buying veg you can keep in the freezer.
Pick up Broccoli Florets, dainty Petit Pois peas and Button Sprouts – because you have to have a sprout at Christmas.
Cheeseboard
Local SPAR stores have a great selection of cheeses, meaning you can either plan ahead or put out a great selection for unexpected guests. Stock up on French Brie, Blue Stilton, Wensleydale with Cranberries, Cheddar, and Red Leicester.

Easy sweet treats
Not everyone enjoys Christmas pudding, but no one wants to spend even more time in the kitchen cooking three different deserts.
Keep SPAR’s luxuriously-flavoured ice creams on hand to add to puddings, fruit, or to eat out of the tub with the family in front of your favourite Christmas film.
Choose from White Chocolate Ice Cream with Mixed Berry Sauce; Vanilla Ice Cream With Salted Caramel Sauce; and Chocolate Ice Cream with Chocolate Sauce.
For when you run out…
No need for last-minute stresses when cooking. SPAR can provide you with own-brand foil, greaseproof paper and clingfilm. Make sure there’s enough to cover the turkey and to wrap up any leftovers.
Festive chocolates
Pick up a bag of SPAR Milk Chocolate Gold Coins to hide in the tree or to stuff in the toe of a stocking. Or a Christmas Chocolate Lolly: choose a reindeer or a snowman.
And when you’re on the go…
Who says you have to wait for glorious festive food? Grab an early taste of Christmas with SPAR’s Limited Edition Festive Meat Feast Sandwich or the vegetarian Limited Edition Festive Cheese Feast Sandwich – and for each sandwich bought 10p goes to Marie Curie.
