You can buy the sleigh in-store at M&S where you'll find it on the food hall shelves.

If you spot one in your nearest store you might want to be quick because these Christmas items do tend to sell out fast.
It is also available to order online through Ocado.
It's important to remember that if you order online, you will need to pay a little extra for delivery so bear this in mind.
If you are thinking of bagging one of the sleighs though, you should have a quick shop around first as you might be able to find a similar product cheaper elsewhere.
Cadbury is selling a build-your-own Santa's chocolate sleigh online for £14, which is pricier than M&S' version.
Meanwhile, Morrisons is selling a Santa's Sleigh Chocolate Mousse for £6.
Supermarkets and retailers change their prices all the time, sometimes multiple times daily, so it's worth checking you're getting the best price on an item.
You can use websites like Trolley to see how the major supermarket's compare in terms of price on any number of goods.
What else is M&S selling this Chrismas?
M&S is renowned for its Christmas food, it's the time of year when shoppers upgrade their usual food shop and spend a little bit more as a treat.
We were lucky enough to try M&S’ huge Christmas range with 450 new items including Xmas dinner dip, turkey feast lasagne and hot honey brie.
A dip inspired by Christmas dinner featuring bacon bits, turkey, cranberry and even stuffing will be top of my shopping list this year.
Served up on little crisp breads, or scooped up with crisps, the dish is something you could eat by the spoonful.
Not forgetting the tipples for the big day, shoppers will be pleased to see the return of the original snow globe gin liqueur after being missing from shelves last year.
In previous years the drinks have been so popular that M&S slapped them with a buying limit because of the huge demand.

White mulled wine (£6, 11%) is another new twist on a winter favourite, with pear, vanilla and mulled spice flavours.
How to save money on Christmas shopping
Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how you can save money on your Christmas shopping.
Limit the amount of presents - buying presents for all your family and friends can cost a bomb.
Instead, why not organise a Secret Santa between your inner circles so you're not having to buy multiple presents.
Plan ahead - if you've got the stamina and budget, it's worth buying your Christmas presents for the following year in the January sales.
Make sure you shop around for the best deals by using price comparison sites so you're not forking out more than you should though.
Buy in Boxing Day sales - some retailers start their main Christmas sales early so you can actually snap up a bargain before December 25.
Delivery may cost you a bit more, but it can be worth it if the savings are decent.
Shop via outlet stores - you can save loads of money shopping via outlet stores like Amazon Warehouse or Office Offcuts.
They work by selling returned or slightly damaged products at a discounted rate, but usually any wear and tear is minor.
