As the weather cools, we look forward to the most magical day of the year.
No, not Christmas.
We are, of course, talking about the launch of the Greggs Festive Bake, which this year is Thursday 7 November.
But for some lucky pastry devotees, that day can come earlier.
Today Greggs launches a competition to find the cities with the biggest Greggs fans. The five cities with the most votes will be granted early access to the Festive Bake, a full week before its national launch.
To be in with a chance of getting your hungry paws on a Festive Bake before the rest of the country, entering is pretty simple.
Just head to the dedicated competition website and vote for your city. Then ask your friends, neighbours, colleagues, and whoever else you spot in the street to do the same, as the five cities with the most votes shall reign supreme (by which we mean, they’ll get the Festive Bake early).
The 20 cities in the running:
- Basingstoke
- Belfast
- Bradford
- Bristol
- Birmingham
- Cardiff
- Carlisle
- Edinburgh
- Glasgow
- Newcastle
- Manchester
- Leeds
- Liverpool
- London
- Plymouth
- Portsmouth
- Norwich
- Nottingham
- Sunderland
- Swansea
The city with the most votes will have the Festive Bake on sale on Friday 1 November. The Greggs tour will then head to each of the four runnerup cities each day leading up to the launch.
Oh, and there’s an extra special bonus for the biggest fan of them all.
Greggs is also searching for people to carry an Olympic-style Festive Bake torch to signify the start of Christmas in each shop.
Alongside that true honour, the biggest fans will also be given their own Greggs gift card worth £100, to be spent on all the Greggs their heart desires for the next 12 months.
To enter that bit, it’s the same drill – head to the website and just make sure to fill in the box that asks: ‘Why would you be the perfect Superfan to bring the Festive Bake to your city?’
Really sell yourself. This is important.
Don’t panic too much if you don’t win, though.
You’ll only have to wait a bit longer to buy a Festive Bake from your nearest Greggs. In case you haven’t enjoyed the delightful treat, a quick explainer of its contents: The Festive Bake is made from succulent pieces of chicken breast, sage and onion stuffing and sweetcure bacon in a creamy sage and cranberry sauce, all wrapped in golden puff pastry with a crunchy crumb topping. Yum.
