Cast your mind back to 2020, when M&S launched a clementine-flavoured gin that went viral on TikTok and sold out in every store. The posh grocer was even forced to put a limit on how many snow globe-style bottles customers could buy.

Now, after a two-year hiatus, the light-up liqueur is officially back for Christmas 2024. Even better, it’s been given a discount in time for party season.

For the uninitiated, the clementine gin liqueur is made using 23-carat edible gold leaf and comes in a light-up bottle. A centrepiece for your festive tablescape and a must-have for Christmas drinks parties, it’s no wonder it flew off the shelves.

Inspiring myriad retailers to launch similar ‘snow globe’ tipples (we’re looking at you, Aldi and B&M), the M&S OG is still thought to be the best.

Whether you’re treating yourself or gifting to another, if you’re looking to add the M&S gin liqueur to your basket ready for this year’s festivities, here’s everything you need to know.

If you’re a fan of sweet notes, M&S’s snow globe gin is just the ticket. The liqueur boasts a zesty flavour, thanks to the clementine, while the cascading 23-carat edible gold flakes create a sparkly effect as you pour. As for the bottle, there’s a light activated by a button at the base, to make the whole bottle illuminate. Plus, it’s detailed with a quintessential snowy Christmas scene.

To serve, top up with prosecco over ice, add tonic water, a wedge of orange and enjoy (mince pie optional). The bottle usually sets you back £20, but you can pick it up with a modest discount at Ocado right now, or head down to your local M&S to secure a snow globe in-store.
