Waitrose Unveils Spring Food Range for Easter and Mother's Day 2026

Upmarket supermarket Waitrose has announced the launch of its brand-new spring food range, timed perfectly for the upcoming Mother's Day and Easter celebrations in 2026. This seasonal collection includes a variety of confectionery and bakery items, such as Fairtrade Easter eggs, hot cross buns, and special roasts, designed to cater to festive home gatherings.

Early Demand for Easter Treats

Waitrose has reported that demand for Easter eggs has started earlier this year, with searches increasing by a significant 68% compared to the previous year. Sarah Breadmore, Easter Egg Product Developer at Waitrose, commented on the new offerings, stating, "This year we really wanted to offer our customers those egg-stra options that make you go 'wow'. We've leveraged the food trends that we know our customers love, to elevate our seasonal product range for 2026." She highlighted the No.1 The Blonde Chocolate Almond Croissant as a standout item, building on last year's viral success with luxurious blonde chocolate and almond pieces.
