Marks and Spencer has officially launched its Christmas food range - and this year the festive offering also includes some weird and wonderful drinks.

One item in particular that has caught our eye is an alcoholic Jaffa Cake cocktail that is made with rum and will definitely help shoppers get into the festive spirit.

If you like the classic sweet and tangy taste of a Jaffa Cake, and you're partial to a glass or two of booze over the holidays, you'll probably love this unusual concoction.

It costs £10 for 35cl bottle and is being rolled out to stores and online in the coming weeks.

Other alcoholic drinks in the range , also priced at £10, include a dairy based cocktail drink with rum, vanilla and lemon flavouring, called the White Christmas Cocktail.

There's also a cocktail with all the flavours of a mince pie, from the buttery pastry to fruity mincemeat and icing sugar dusting on the top.

If you're after something slightly more traditional you can always settle on the fruity gin based Let It Sloe cocktail or get cosy in front of the television with a glass of the Spiced Apple Pie Martini.

Along with the mix of cocktail flavours gin lovers can treat themselves to a bottle of the new Christmas Gin (50cl) for £25, which is b lended with spicy ginger, cardamom and cinnamon.

The specially created tipple was produced in the Secret Herb Garden in Edinburgh by Head Gardener Hamish Martin.

If beer is more up your street there's also a Twelve Beers of Christmas pack for £20, which could also make a pretty decent beer tasting gift for a loved one.

The selection of craft beers 330ml cans includes a Salted Caramel Porter, Grapefruit IPA and a Blood Orange Wheat beer.

Shoppers who are ready to start ordering their Christmas food at marksandspencer.com can also bag a free bottle of wine with their order when they spend £85 or more too.
