Pringles has announced the return of a fan-favourite festive flavour this week and it’s hitting shelves just in time for Christmas.
Back by popular demand, Pringles has delighted fans of its seasonal Honey Glazed Ham flavour as it has confirmed the snack will be returning to supermarkets right across the UK as part of the ‘Pop, Play, Eat’ collection during the festive period.
With the Christmas festivities likely to be a little different than we’re used to this year amid the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, and in the absence of people being able to get together in the traditional sense, Pringles is aiming to get shoppers into the festive spirit by bringing back the limited edition sweet and savoury flavour combination.
Latest market research has shown that Pringles shoppers buy 20% more flavours than the average crisp shopper, so the snacking company is hoping the return of Honey Glazed Ham will be festive music to their ears.
The Honey Glazed Ham crisps will be available in all major supermarkets at an RRP of £2.50.

Pringles has also revealed it will be launching a series of limited-edition Christmas ‘celebration’ can designs.

The collectable items – which feature snowmen, Santa and elves to name but a few – will be in store from this weekend, but those looking to get their hands on them are advised to act quick as there will be a limited number of cans hitting the shelves this season and they’re anticipated to get snapped up.

Speaking on the festive offerings this year, Rebecca Worthington – Activation Brand Lead at Pringles UK – said: “We hope Pringles fans are as happy as we are to hear Honey Glazed Ham is making a return, back by popular demand.
“When we launched it in 2019, it flew off the shelves and we’re hoping that this year people are just as excited by it.’”
That’s not all though, as Pringles is also on a mission to “spread some festive cheer” this year by giving away hundreds of prizes – from spa days and dining experiences, to adventures like yacht racing and helicopter tours – that will all be valid until the end of 2021.

Drinks prices revealed as Manchester Airport’s first-ever Wetherspoons pub opens inside T2
Emily Sergeant
It’s official… Manchester Airport’s first-ever JD Wetherspoon pub has officially opened its doors inside Terminal 2.
The 300-seater pub – which welcomed its first customers earlier this week – is named The Belle Vue after Manchester’s historic showground.
Throughout the pub, you’ll spot design features that nod to the city’s sporting heritage – including vintage event posters and memorabilia, a ‘locker wall’ hosting trophies and other sporting exhibits, and a cricket-themed design in the carpets and bar panels.
Creating around 150 jobs in the process, The Belle Vue is the final planned new eatery to open in the airport’s redeveloped Terminal 2, marking one of the final steps in the super-terminal’s decade-long, £1.5bn transformation.

According to the MEN, pints are priced from £6.20 for Carling and Coors lager, £6.45 for Budweiser, £6.60 for Guinness, and £6.70 for Poretti and 1664 Biere.
Prosecco is £9.20 for 175ml glass and £37.10 for the full bottle, while spirts and mixers are £6.80 for singles and £10.20 for doubles.
There’s also the classic Wetherspoons tea and coffee machines, where you can refill as many times as you like for just £3.60.
“It’s a proud moment to see the final new retail unit opening in our new-look Terminal 2,” commented Richard Jackson, who is the Retail Director at Manchester Airport.
“To be rounding off this 10-year programme by adding such an iconic name as Wetherspoon to the terminal is particularly special and we know that it will prove extremely popular with passengers. We think they’ll love the nods to Manchester’s heritage in the décor and design – and of course the name.”
The Belle Vue will be open from the first flight to the final flight each day, and food will be served from opening until 10pm.

Iconic Manc movie 24 Hour Party People is set to return to cinemas for its anniversary
Emily Sergeant
One of Manchester’s most iconic movies is set to return to the big screen next month.
Remastered in 4K and returning to UK cinemas to mark 24 years since its original release, Michael Winterbottom’s 2002 biographical comedy drama film, 24 Hour Party People, tells the story of Manchester‘s popular music community from 1976 to 1992 – specifically about Factory Records‘ founder Tony Wilson.
The film begins with the punk rock era of the late 1970s, before moving through the 1980s into the rave and DJ culture, and of course, the ‘Madchester‘ scene of the late 1980s and early 1990s.
The narrative largely follows the career of Tony Wilson, played by Middleton-born actor Steve Coogan, while also covering the careers of the major Factory Records artists – especially Joy Division and New Order, as well as A Certain Ratio, The Durutti Column, and Happy Mondays.
If you haven’t seen 24 Hour Party People before, it’s a dramatisation based on a combination of real events, rumours, and urban legends, as the film is sure to make clear.
Coogan is joined by a cast by a mixture of big names and, at the time, rising stars like Paddy Considine, Shirley Henderson, Lennie James, John Simm, Ralf Little, Andy Serkis, Sean Harris, John Thomson, and even Peter Kay, alongside cameos from other figures connected to the Manchester music scene.
Before it returns to cinemas, the film will first open music and media festival/conference, Beyond The Music, at MediaCity in Salford on 6 October.
The screening at the festival will also be followed by a Q&A with Coogan, Winterbottom, and producer Andrew Eaton.
24 Hour Party People will then be re-released in UK cinemas from 9 October, and you can check your local cinema for screening times and book tickets online now.
