MARKS and Spencer has given Colin the caterpillar a festive makeover for Christmas with new sweets that look like candy canes.

The beloved M&S icon has been turned into pink and white gummies that are flavoured with strawberry and mint.

There might still be three months to go until the big day, but the retailer is selling the Christmas sweets now for £1.65, or two bags for £3.

This is the same price as other Colin the caterpillar sweets, including the regularly stocked fruit flavour and sour gummies.

The new chewies come as part of M&S’s festive collection which also includes a Christmas Colin the caterpillar cake, complete with his own santa hat.

But shoppers don’t have long to get them as seasonal products will be gone by the end of the year.

We can’t see the new Colin sweets available to order online just yet so you’ll need to pop into your nearest store to get them.

M&S has over 1,000 shops in the UK and you can find your nearest one on its website.

The sweets were first posted on Kev’s Snack Reviews Instagram page and it seems shoppers already can’t wait to try them.

One person said: “Amazing!”

While another added: “Christmas sweets haul!”

We’ve asked M&S for the relevant calorie and sugar information for the festive Colin sweets, to see how they compare to the others and we’ll update this story as soon as we get them.

M&S is also selling a spooky Colin the caterpillar cake for Halloween with sugar maggots and bloody splatter.

M&S was recently forced to change the name of its Porn Star Martini cocktail after complaints it was rude.

While gold Percy Pig piggy banks were selling for £500 on eBay earlier this year.

Percy Pig fans also fumed earlier this year when M&S confirmed they WILL stay veggie forever.
