Chocolate orange is taking centre stage in Pret A Manger’s Christmas 2026 menu, with two new festive drinks arriving in UK shops.
The new Chocolate Orange Latte and Orange Hot Chocolate combine chocolate with the familiar citrus flavour associated with seasonal confectionery.
Both drinks are topped with chocolate whipped cream, adding an indulgent finish to the festive range.
The launch comes alongside other seasonal additions, including a Triple Chocolate Crunch Loaf Cake, Jaffa Loaf Cake and Chocolate Pistachio Croissant Roll.
Pret says the Christmas menu is available from November 3 until the end of December, while stocks last.
Chocolate orange remains a popular seasonal flavour, appearing across chocolate bars, biscuits, desserts and hot drinks. Its latest appearance at Pret demonstrates how familiar confectionery flavours continue to influence seasonal café menus.
For chocolate lovers, the combination offers another way to enjoy chocolate beyond traditional bars and boxed sweets.
