About this collection
A biscuit assortment, a savoury caddy and a sweet sharing packet make different contributions to the Christmas table. Choosing the contents before the festive packaging is generally the sensible order. The difficulty is persuading the household to leave enough of the research for the actual guests.
The Christmas biscuit cupboard, prepared for visitors
The Christmas biscuit cupboard has to cope with more than a normal cup of tea. There are visitors, films, people who have just eaten lunch and people who claim they are only checking the tin. British festive biscuits give all of them somewhere to start.
We have picked a few different approaches: a family assortment, something chocolatey, and the gingerbread packets that make the kettle seem like a very good idea. Browse the rest above for the extras your household expects.
A tin-opening sort of afternoon
McVitie’s Family Circle gives the table a choice; Victoria Chocolate Creations takes the chocolate route. Set either out when people arrive and let them conduct their own extremely serious biscuit inspection.

Cadbury Snowy Fingers and Fox’s milk chocolate rounds are for the plate that keeps needing topped up. They also make a useful small present, provided you remember which packet was intended for somebody else.

Gingerbread-flavour Digestives and Mini Gingerbread Men give the usual tea break a festive turn. A familiar biscuit with a seasonal flavour, or a smaller gingerbread bite: choose according to the company.

View full detailsWhich biscuits should I put out for Christmas visitors?
An assortment is useful when you do not know everybody’s favourite. Family Circle and Victoria Chocolate Creations offer that approach; a separate packet of chocolate biscuits gives the chocolate loyalists somewhere to concentrate.
Can you get McVitie’s Family Circle in Canada?
You can, because it comes over from the UK to our Halifax shop and we post it across Canada. It is the family assortment built for a table of visitors, with enough variety that nobody needs to ask what else is in the cupboard.
Do you have gingerbread biscuits for Christmas?
We do. McVitie’s gingerbread-flavour milk chocolate Digestives bring a festive spice to a very familiar biscuit, and the Mini Gingerbread Men are small enough to disappear before anyone has counted them. Put the kettle on and both make a strong case for a second cup.
Can a biscuit assortment work as a Christmas present?
Certainly. An assortment is a generous gift for a household or host, and Border’s Dark Chocolate Ginger Gift Box arrives looking as though you planned it for weeks. Add a favourite packet on top as a thoughtful small extra.
