M&S fans thrilled as retailer says 'the wait is over'

Marks and Spencer fans have been left thrilled by an update from the retailer telling them "the wait is over".

The retail giant is a popular destination among UK shoppers thanks to its mix of named brands and own-brand lines, with everything from clothes to homewares, food and more. M&S often shows off new items and ranges on its social media pages.

And a new Instagram update has definitely gone down well with customers. A video said "something magical" is coming and that the "wait is over".

The clip also teased a few Christmas-themed items before text across the screen added: "The much anticipated M&S Food Christmas range will be revealed here on... Friday 22 September".

Many fans were clearly happy with the news, as Cherry said: "YEEEEES M&S GIMME ALL THE CHRISTMAS THINGSSSS!!!!" [sic].

Tagging a friend, Kelly said: "This is not a drill, think you should take the 22nd of and we go to M&S hahaha" and Nie said: "I'd say it's too early to talk Christmas BUT, when it's an M&S Christmas, it's allowed!!"

While the new Christmas items have not yet been revealed, last year M&S' Christmas range featured a wide array of products including garlic butter brioche and camembert wreaths, an "ice skating" Colin the Caterpillar cake, and "best ever" pigs in blankets.

Meanwhile, the store's new autumn clothing range has landed, with wardrobe staples like a chunky cable knit jumper, priced at £35, already proving popular with shoppers. You can shop the full autumn women's wear range here.
