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.

Nathan Aspinall urges PDPA to improve mental health support within the sport
Danny Jones
Local sports personality Nathan Aspinall has urged the Professional Darts Players Association (PDPA) to provide better mental health support moving forward.
It’s not the first time ‘The Asp’ has called for more awareness and provision when it comes to player welfare and mental wellbeing, specifically, which remains a prevailing societal problem in general.
The Greater Manchester native has opened up about his own struggles many times in the past and has made a public plea for the PDPA to intervene and offer more help.
Speaking at the 2026 PDC World Darts Championships after his opening round victory, the 34-year-old instead chose to focus on more important issues than his strong start.
As you can see, Aspinall began by stating that “the PDPA now need to step in and help these guys because there’s a lot of guys suffering.”
Having long been an champion for male mental health, in particular – supporting the local Healthy Minds practices in his hometown of Stockport, for instance – he’s been one of the outspoken player on the subject for some time.
Noting that there are at least “two or three people” he refused to name, his message was simple: “There’s a lot of fantastic dart players in our sport, but it’ll be a shame to see so many of them go because of mental health”
The 2019 UK Open and 2023 World Matchplay winner has battled with multiple obstacles, including an ocular condition known as bilateral traumatic Brown’s syndrome, as well bursitis, which causes inflammation around key joints.
But it’s not necessarly injuries and the physical side of things that have been his biggest concern.

One of the biggest and most recurring challenges for him has been ‘dartitis’, which many players within the discipline wrestle with the more their careers progress.
Aspinall has confessed to suffering almost chronic panic attacks due to the mental blocks (also commonly known as ‘the yips’) brought about by the intense pressure of playing on stage/live on TV.
With that in mind, it’s great to see him not only back on form and pulling impressive performance such as his ‘big fish’ finish on Friday night, but continuing to draw more attention to the underlying mental health crisis, especially among men. Well played, Nath.

Fans are preparing to pay tribute to Mani from The Stone Roses ahead of his funeral service
Danny Jones
Stone Roses fans and Greater Manchester locals alike are getting ready to pay their respects to the late, great, Gary ‘Mani’ Mounfield, following his tragic passing last month.
As well as details surrounding his funeral being announced earlier this week, the iconic Manc musician’s cause of death has also finally been revealed.
While Hatton’s service featured a high-profile cortège which started all the way from his hometown of Hyde, past multiple landmarks and ending at the Etihad Stadium, those local to Mani’s family home on the edge of Stockport are also being welcomed to help send him off.
It's the funeral of Mani of the Stone Roses on the 22nd. He lived locally. This poster is asking people to line the route of his funeral cortege to "show that he truly was adored". pic.twitter.com/X0DYHl10Hp
He had been struggling with emphysema for some time; he was declared dead at his home in the suburb of Heaton Moor, and is said to have died peacefully in his sleep.
As you can see from the posters put in various places around the area, residents wishing to pay their own tributes to Mani before his private funeral service at Manchester Cathedral are encouraged to line the long street leading down from St Paul’s and Heaton Moor United Church as he heads towards the city.
Departing Parsonage Road from 10am on Monday, 22 December, before turning right onto Heaton Moor Rd, then Wellington and eventually on to the Cathedral, you can expect plenty of people to show up.
One of those people will be his former bandmate and another influential guitarist, John Squire, who is one of many famous musical names to have honoured him in their own way over the last few weeks.
Other members of The Stone Roses, as well as Primal Scream (who he joined in 1996), are expected to join the close family and friends at the service itself.
Nevertheless, we have no doubt that plenty will be observing the funeral in their own way.
So, for those of you also looking to honour him, you know what to do; and to quote the poster itself, “together we can show this local legend and his family that he was truly adored.”
