Waitrose has unveiled a new springtime range which has an expanded collection to meet consumer demand for sweet treats in the upcoming Easter season.

The supermarket retailer is launching two new Easter egg flavours, The Blonde Almond Croissant Egg and Ruby Chocolate & Berries Flat Egg, which are available for £15 and £12 each.

This follows searches on the retailer’s website for ‘Easter’ and ‘Easter eggs’ increasing by 34 per cent and 68 per cent, respectively.

Sarah Breadmore, Easter egg product developer at Waitrose, said: “This year we really wanted to offer our customers those egg-stra options that make you go “wow.”

“We’ve leveraged the food trends that we know our customers love to elevate our seasonal product range for 2026.”
