Marks & Spencer has a surprise hit on its hands this November, with one particular Christmas decoration capturing the hearts of shoppers and earning stellar reviews.
A Festive Favourite Before December
The Light Up Musical Nutcracker Snow Globe is proving to be an early success for the retailer. Priced at £25 and boasting an impressive 4.9-star rating, the item has already been purchased by many who say it evokes strong childhood memories of the festive season.
Marks and Spencer describes the product, saying it brings the magic of the Nutcracker into homes. The globe features a traditional Nutcracker figurine standing inside amidst a constant flurry of snowflakes, made possible by a built-in fan.
Shoppers Are Loving the Festive Find
Customer reviews on the M&S website reveal widespread delight with the purchase. One person expressed their joy, stating they were "am so delighted with this purchase. Beautifully made and so looking forward to putting it on display."
Another shopper highlighted its value and versatility, having bought it for a non-verbal child. They praised its large size and called it "great value for money."
The globe's technical features are a major selling point. It is battery-operated, eliminating the need to shake it, and includes the option to play music. One detailed review noted, "It’s different in a good way and having the bonus of being battery operated you don’t have to shake it to make a snow fluffy. Can also be musical too if wanted."
Minor Criticisms Amidst the Praise
While the reception is overwhelmingly positive, a few customers had minor critiques, primarily concerning the musical selection. The globe plays the song "Let It Snow", which some found repetitive.
One reviewer commented, "I love this Nutcracker snowglobe! It's very pretty when lit up. However I won't be playing the music... It's a shame as I was hoping it might be music from The Nutcracker Suite."
Despite this, the same person and many others still highly recommend the item. Another shopper called it "incredible" and specifically highlighted that the dome is made of glass, not plastic. They concluded it was a "bargain for £25" and predicted it would be a sell-out this Christmas.
With features like multiple switches for light and music, included batteries, and a well-built design, the M&S Nutcracker Snow Globe is shaping up to be one of the must-have decorations of the 2025 festive season.
