Colin the Caterpillar

[vixb1]

I'd really love to get a Christmas Colin the caterpillar for Christmas Day. But I've been online to M&S website and it says "Product is no longer available". Anyone know what the deal is? Are they all sold out? Have they stopped making them?
Think you'll all agree, this is a really important topic....?!

They had mini ones in my local Simply Food this morning. I realise it's not quite the same but could you buy a few packets and stack them on top of each other in a sort of Christmas tree shape if I were to do that, it would just look like a heap but you may be more artistic and better at balancing than me

I ate a mini one this afternoon. Sorry no help to your query but I'd think not coming back into stock? Ive had the same issue with a stuffing now out of stock in Waitrose "out of stock for ordering". Madness on 6th December!!

Oh that's a pity and a great idea for Christmas day. Lidl had a lovely smash chocolate cake that looks fun if Colin doesn't work out.

Thanks everyone. It was in lots of magazines/social media etc that they were making a Christmas one. You'd think they'd have made a ton of them so they didn't sell out?!
Think it's looking like I might need to get an alternative dessert and decorate with some mini colins maybe?!
I've got 12 for Christmas dinner and a newborn, so I think homemade dessert is well beyond me this year!

Both Tesco's and Sainsbury's have caterpillar birthday cakes. You could buy one of these and a few Christmas cake decs and make him Christmassy.

The Morrison's caterpillar cake is delish.

I was going to buy one

Surely any caterpillar cake will do?
Add your own Christmas decorations.

Don’t worry it’s not available yet. In store from 14 Dec according to the M&S food magazine. DS1 has requested one for his birthday. He will be 22.

Asda have their own Christmas version, it’s a reindeer I think.

Ooh, @Belindabelle - that would be great if they just haven't started selling them yet!

They are not in store until 14/12 according to my order book.

[MrOnionsBumperRoller]

They're not in store yet. They're only available for a limited time like the Halloween Colins were.

[vixb1]

Panic over, I got one today. Christmas is saved! 😂

[livingthegoodlife]

Thank goodness for that! Enjoy Colin!

[edgewater]

Is he as lovely as he looks?

[vixb1]

Yep, he looks cute and tasty!
