Target in holiday partnership with Britain’s Marks & Spencer

Holiday shoppers at Target will be able to purchase tasty signature items from a British heritage brand.

Target will sell select “luxurious” food and beverage products from Marks & Spencer during the holiday season. The curated selection of 15 items will range in from $9.99 to $27.99, and include everything from caramels and chocolates to biscuits and tea. The products will come in festive packaging, with some lighting up. A tin of gingerbread houses plays holiday music.

The Marks & Spencer collection will roll out at most Target stores in mid-November and will also be featured on the discounter’s website. It will be available through the holiday season.

The holiday collection marks the first partnership between Target and Marks & Spencer, which was founded in 1884, and currently operates nearly 1,000 stores across the U.K.   In  September, Target said it would feature toys from FAO Schwarz as part of a multiyear agreement. In October, it expanded its partnership with Apple.

“One of the things that differentiates Target is the way we make style affordable and accessible for all and this partnership is the latest example of us building on that legacy in food and beverage,” stated Rick Gomez, Target’s executive VP and chief food and beverage officer. “By joining forces with an iconic brand like Marks & Spencer, we're bringing our guests amazing products and giving them another reason to turn to Target for the moments of joy that make the holidays special.”
