Christmas Tea
The moon’s in his cap, Piccadilly stands paused, ‘til the winter night’s peace erupts in applause – from the beehives on our roof to the feasting favourites in our Food Hall, Christmas is everywhere at Fortnum & Mason.

Christmas Tea
Perfect for gifting this festive season, our Christmas Tea is a foodie essential and will pair beautifully with all of your yuletide favourites.
Meet our once-in-a-season teatime creation, and three of our favourite things to enjoy with a cup.
Mince Pies
Whether you plump for our traditional Mince Pies - deep-filled, as ever, with our famously fruity and gently tipsy mincemeat - our Almond Topped Mince Pies, or our Gluten Free Mince Pies, there's no simpler pleasure than a cup of Christmas Tea and one of the season's star pies, warm from the oven.
And as if that's not enjoyable enough, you can always add a spoonful of our Cognac, Spiced Rum or Cherry Ripe Liqueur Butters for good measure.
Elvas Plums
Grown in the unique microclimate of Portugal’s Elvas region on the Spanish border, the season of Elvas Plums is short, and all the sweeter for it. Each plum is handpicked and harvested in July before taking a long, leisurely bath in sugar for six weeks.
The plump plums - which we've been selling in great numbers since 1815 - are then carefully washed down and dried under the Mediterranean sun, and their sweet fruitiness is delightful with the spiced notes of our Christmas tea.
Georgian Christmas Teaware
When it comes to drinking our ever-so-festive Christmas Spiced Tea, only the finest teaware to accompany it will do. Our Georgian Christmas Teaware range was designed to match the intricate pattern of our spiced tea caddy, making these perfect partners.
Serve with our Christmas Mince Pie Biscuits alongside and you'll be simply sleighing teatime all winter long.
