It’s time to swap the sausage rolls for microphones as Greggs has announced its first ever series of Christmas parties across the UK.
Greggs Presents: The Festive Rewind will see venues in Glasgow, Birmingham and London transform into retro winter wonderlands, inspired by iconic decades of music.
The throwback series will kick off with a ‘Bake to the 80s’ revival in Glasgow on Thursday 30 November, combining statement hairstyles and leg warmers with karaoke classics.
On Friday 8 December, the pastry giant will rewind ‘Bake to the 90s’ in Birmingham, with the ultimate 90s hits.
Finally, Friday 15 December will see the return of double denim as Greggs go ‘Bake to the 00s’ in the final event in London.
There will a be special guest appearances from a host of famous faces including 80s legend Martin Kemp, 90s powerhouse HedKandi and and 00s superstars H and Claire from Steps.
Each event will take place between 4:30pm and 7pm, lasting for two and a half hours, and tickets will be available to book from this Friday (November 17) via a link on Greggs’ social media channels.
All guests must be 18 and over, and attendees can expect complimentary festive themed cocktails and cheesy pizza slices from Greggs’ very own bespoke Pizza Van.
Following the return of the festive bake, attendees can fuel their decade defining dance moves at the ‘Festive Bake Bar.’
Alcoholic and non-alcoholic drink options will be available during each event and vegan alternatives will also be available for those with dietary requirements.
It comes after the bakery launched its festive menu, which left some fans disappointed as a popular option was axed.
Some fanatics have claimed the loss of the Vegan Festive Bake has ‘ruined Christmas’.
The plant-based pastry been a staple since it was introduced in 2021, but has now been axed from the Christmas menu at the high street bakery.
Instead, a spicy vegetable curry bake has been added to the seasonal menu.
One person said on X, formerly Twitter: ‘Sorry but Greggs not bringing back the vegan festive bake this year has actually ruined Christmas.’
Another person said the news of the vegan festive bake’s demise had ‘ruined my week’, whereas someone else said it had ‘ruined my entire year’.
