Topshop has launched an interactive seasonal snow globe at the brand’s Oxford Circus flagship store.

From 12-20th December, customers making a purchase will have the chance to play inside the larger-than-life snow globe. Customers will be able to attempt to catch gold tokens in a whirlwind of metallic confetti to win prizes.

Topshop are ensuring that everyone is a winner, with each player entered into a lucky dip to win-on-the-spot prizes ranging from gift cards and beauty treats through to a £1000 Personal Shopping spree.

A camera positioned inside the globe will ensure that every participant will be able to share their experience on social media by tagging #TopshopHoliday or #TopmanHoliday.

Last year 15,000 refugees and asylum seekers experienced destitution, including pregnant women and new mothers. Piccolo, the UK’s fastest growing baby food company, firmly believes no child should go hungry. The brand will be running its annual One for One campaign this Christmas, to support the work that the British Red Cross does across the country for refugees.

Throughout the whole of December, Piccolo will be donating one infant meal for every Piccolo product bought in Tesco stores nationwide, to support destitute refugee families across the country – last year, the British Red Cross saw a 43% increase in mothers needing food and nappies for their children.

To get involved, customers need to simply pick up a Piccolo pouch, pot or pack in any Tesco store nationwide and Piccolo will donate at least one meal to a family in need as a result.

Cat Gazzoli, founder of Piccolo, says: “I’m so proud to be able to bring our One for One campaign back this year.  It’s been a dream to work with Tesco on this initiative and together we’ve been able to put giving back right at the heart of the baby food aisle, support one of the UKs most eminent charities and encouraging parents to get involved in the Christmas spirit.”

In 2017, Piccolo donated 125,000 meals to disadvantaged children relying on food banks throughout the UK, and this year we’re really proud to be working in support of the British Red Cross to help refugee parents who have already gone through more than many of us can imagine and need a helping hand to make life a little bit better for their families.

As the UK’s love affair with all things gingerbread continues, Nestlé, the world’s largest food and drinks company, has introduced two exciting limited editions to the nation’s shops this winter.

While it’s always been a sweet staple in British kitchen cupboards, recently there has been a boom in gingerbread flavour’s popularity as it’s teamed up with other home staples to create everything from fancy cocktails to decadent chocolates. Joining the gingerbread family for the 2018 season, Nestlé introduces two flavoursome innovations: Nescafé Gold Gingerbread Latte and Gingerbread Matchmakers by Quality Street.

Taka Ota, Nescafé Senior Brand Manager said: “Our Gingerbread Latte first debuted as a limited edition back in 2013, but this year its back for another limited run after popular demand! With its delicate warming flavour, it couples perfectly with a bite of stollen or a small mince pie as you snuggle in front of a toasty fire on a chilly afternoon. We are all warm and cosy here at Nestlé HQ just thinking about it!”

Rebecca Holt, Quality Street Brand Manager said: “Nestlé likes to move with seasonal trends and recipe innovations so it was only right we brought our latest limited edition to UK consumers in time for the festive season! Perfect for sharing with friends at your work Christmas party or with the family in front of the latest boxset, Gingerbread Matchmakers by Quality Street demonstrate our commitment to produce exciting, new variations of much loved classic treat.”

Quality Street Gingerbread Matchmakers are available exclusively at Tesco and Nescafé Gold Gingerbread Latte is available in the coffee aisle in shops across the UK.

Diageo Reserve has announced the extension of its ultra-premium Cîroc vodka portfolio with the addition of limited-edition, Black Raspberry.

The new launch marks the brand’s first ever winter edition, and follows the success of recent flavour launches, including Summer Colada and French Vanilla. Cîroc Black Raspberry infuses five times distilled Cîroc Vodka with the delicate natural flavours of fresh, crushed black raspberry essence to create a distinct smooth finish, embodying the rich tastes of winter.

Presented in a striking stylish black and gold bottle, the new expression is available from November and is being celebrated with a new serve strategy, including hero cocktails, Cîroc Black Raspberry Velvet Crush and Cîroc Black Raspberry Royale.

Head of Diageo Reserve GB, Rich Larkin commented: “We’re incredibly excited to be launching Cîroc Black Raspberry. Cîroc is a brand rooted in style and celebration, and the latest variant really adds vibrancy to cocktails both out in bars and restaurants or in the home this winter, just in time for the celebratory season. It’s a great time for premium vodka which remains in growth by both volume and value, up 10.5% and 9.4% respectively, with Cîroc driving this, up 14.4% by volume and 24.6% by value. This is the first time we have launched a winter expression for Cîroc, so we’re looking forward to getting it out there for consumers and bartenders to experiment and of course, celebrate with in the run up to Christmas and New Year.”
