Get ready to celebrate Christmas 2024 with a touch of nostalgia, because the beloved Quality Street Coffee Creme is back! After a two-decade absence, this iconic flavor is making a triumphant return, much to the delight of devoted fans.
While you won’t find the Coffee Creme in the familiar tubs found at major supermarkets, you’ll be able to indulge in this decadent treat at John Lewis stores across the UK. They’ve introduced pick-and-mix stations where shoppers can personalize their own tubs with their favorite Quality Street selections, including the long-awaited Coffee Creme.
To make the comeback even sweeter, John Lewis will also offer a limited-edition Coffee Creme cracker and bauble for the festive season.
The pick-and-mix stations were launched on September 25th at the flagship John Lewis store in Oxford Street, giving early birds a chance to savor the Coffee Creme before the official Christmas rush. Other participating stores will follow suit in October.
This isn’t just a mere return; it’s a celebration of the Coffee Creme’s legacy. The flavor was part of the original Quality Street selection tin back in 1936. It’s a testament to its enduring popularity that it’s being brought back, even if it’s in a slightly different form this time around.
Quality Street’s brand manager, Emily Grimbley, expressed excitement about the comeback: “It’s a pleasure to share the news that coffee creme will be returning for Christmas 2024. This is an absolute fan favourite, and we are delighted to have it on shop shelves for Quality Street fans nationwide.”
John Lewis’s Christmas buying lead, Lisa Cherry, echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the special place Quality Street holds during the festive season: “We’re very excited to welcome Quality Street back to John Lewis for 2024, as we know it’s something our customers associate with the festive season. Our exclusive collection of baubles has already been bestsellers, and we predict that the return of the coffee creme as well as a limited edition tin design will be big favourites.”
So, if you’re a Quality Street enthusiast longing for a taste of the past, make your way to a John Lewis store and create your own personalized box of festive delights, including the much-anticipated Coffee Creme. It’s a chance to celebrate the classic flavor and make this Christmas even sweeter.
