Independent Italo-English bakery Signorelli has unveiled its festive menu, led by a Christmas Club Sandwich and a Turkey Schnitzel Focaccia. Alongside them are Christmas bakes, celebration cakes, winter coffees and festive gifts starting from £14.
Signorelli says the new Christmas collection launches on 15 November. The Christmas range is listed as available from 20 November 2026 until 6 January 2027, with winter coffees and seasonal brioche specials continuing through to February. The bakery describes the collection as bringing together Italian baking traditions, British Christmas favourites and a little Alpine magic.
Two festive sandwiches
The Christmas Club Sandwich is filled with turkey schnitzel, creamy English Brie, cranberry sauce and lamb’s lettuce. The Turkey Schnitzel Focaccia combines Italian focaccia, Austrian turkey schnitzel and English Brie, finished with cranberry sauce.
The focaccia has its roots in the university days of co-founder and head baker Alberto ‘Albi’ Signorelli in Milan. During that time he would travel north to the Tyrolean region of his great-great-grandfather to visit the Christmas markets.
Rebecca Rosmini, co-founder of Signorelli, said: “Christmas is one of our absolute favourite times of the year at Signorelli, and we can’t wait to share this year’s festive collection.”
She added: “It’s inspired by Albi’s memories of visiting the Christmas markets in the Tyrolean region, where his great-great-grandfather came from. He remembers the twinkling lights, the snow, the mulled wine and, of course, those incredible crispy schnitzel sandwiches.”
The sandwiches join a busy season for festive lunches, with PAUL also launching its Le Noël Turkey and Le Noël Brie Christmas sandwiches.
Bakes, cakes and gifts
The Panettone Croissant combines the spirit of traditional fruity mince panettone with Signorelli’s freshly baked croissants. The Ferrero Brioche is a chocolate-inspired take on the bakery’s signature brioche.
Christmas Log Cakes come in three flavours: Red Velvet, Black Forest and Tiramisu. The range also includes Giant Chocolate-Dipped Biscuits and Red Berry and Pistachio Fruit Tarts.
The gift collection is available online, with prices starting from £14. It includes reusable burgundy Signorelli-branded cups filled with brownie bites, boxes of festive Italian biscuits, granola in keepsake metal pots, Signorelli tote bags, chocolate brioche scented candles and Christmas hampers.
Winter coffees and the bakeries
A new collection of winter coffees and seasonal brioche specials is launching on 20 November and will be available through to February. It brings two new cold foam flavours, Black Forest and Cinnamon Biscuit, together with new Seasonal Brioche Toppings and a Winter Latte.
Signorelli was founded in East Village, Stratford, in 2015 by husband-and-wife team Rebecca and Alberto Signorelli. It now has bakeries in East Village, Stratford Cross, Wood Wharf in Canary Wharf and Broadgate, Liverpool Street.
Its bakery favourites are made from scratch at its dedicated Stratford Bakehouse. The bakery says the site supports an inclusive, predominantly women-led and neurodivergent-friendly workplace.
