Boots and M&S have already started selling Christmas sandwiches

SHOPPERS have spotted Christmas sarnies in Boots and Marks & Spencer's almost three months early.

Forget Halloween and Bonfire night because turkey and stuffing is already back on the lunchtime menu at both retailers.

Beady-eyed shoppers have already spotted festive faves on the shelves at Boots, including Pigs Under Blankets and Turkey Feast sandwiches for £2.75.

Diners can even already tuck into the absolute feast of a triple sandwich, which is the most expensive meal in the range at £3.35.

We're talking Turkey, Stuffing and Cranberry, Ham Hock and Plum Chutney, and Barber's Cheddar and Plum Chutney in one packet.

But you might want to hold back when it comes to the calorie content because the Pigs Under Blanket snack contains 429, there's 408 in the Turkey Feast and 460 for the triple threat.

There's also a Brie and Cranberry option for veggies, while vegans can choose between the Vegan Christmas Feast and Vegan No Salmon and No Cream Cheese.

The sandwiches are all included in Boots' £3.99 meal deal, which includes a drink and a snack.

The Turkey Feast has also been seen on the shelves in M&S, where five per cent of the sale is donated to Shelter.

The sandwich costs £3.90 and contains more calories than the Boots option at 490.

Some stores are also stocking its vegan option, the Plant Kitchen No Turkey Feast for £3.90, and a gluten-free option for £4.50.

M&S has told The Sun that these sarnies are just the start of the festive roll out and that there are still more to come.

The rest of the range will hit shelves on October 30 but it's waiting until nearer the time to reveal the line up.

Shoppers who've already got their chops around the flavours have shared their reviews online.

One person rated a sandwich from Boots as a solid seven out of 10 on Twitter, while another posted the drooling emoji after noticing the M&S sandwich was back.

Eddie Watson on Twitter wrote: "Am I horrified that Boots have stared selling Christmas sandwiches in early October? Yes.

"Have I just has a turkey, stuffing and cranberry sandwich? Also yes."

Another announced that the arrival of the festive sandwiches means that officially "'tis the season".

Boots has launched its Christmas lunchtime menu in October for the past two three years now because customers can't wait to get their hands on them.

Tesco recently unveiled it's festive sandwich range and it includes a Yorkshire pudding wrap and turkey curry and bhaji wrap.

Last year, we ranked 21 Christmas sandwiches from high street retailers to find out who's the best.
