Legendary chicken restaurant Nando's has officially unveiled its highly anticipated Christmas menu for 2025, marking its first festive food launch in three years.
What's New on the Nando's Christmas Menu?
The festive offering, which launches nationwide on Tuesday, November 18, 2025, introduces three completely new items that put a distinctive Portuguese-inspired twist on classic Christmas flavours. This is the first new seasonal menu from the popular peri-peri chicken chain since 2022, promising a significant refresh for festive diners.
The Three New Festive Creations
The menu innovation begins with Bubble and Squeak Croquettes, a brand-new starter that reimagines the traditional British dish. These croquettes feature a crispy coating filled with a festive combination of Brussels sprouts, mashed potato, and red onion, served with a side of Caesar dressing for dipping.
For the main event, Nando's presents The Total Sleigh, a substantial festive chicken burger that's truly stacked. This creation features a chicken fillet topped with melted cheese, the new Bubble & Squeak Croquettes, caramelised onions, fresh lettuce, and Churrasco PERinaise, all served in a rustic roll. It comes accompanied by a generous portion of PERi-Chicken Gravy.
Completing the festive trio is the Warm Chocolate Orange Brownie, a decadent dessert perfect for the season. This features a rich, fudge brownie covered in melted chocolate with pronounced orange flavours, served warm alongside a scoop of refreshing vanilla gelado.
A Festive Return After Three Years
The launch represents Nando's return to the competitive Christmas dining scene after bypassing dedicated festive menus since 2022. The chain is known for putting its own spin on traditional flavours, and this year's offering continues that tradition with what the company describes as a merriment of flavours.
With restaurants, coffee shops, and food establishments across the UK rolling out their seasonal offerings, Nando's entry into the 2025 festive market is set to provide a popular alternative for those seeking something different from traditional Christmas dining while still capturing the spirit of the season.
