Piers Morgan had to see what 'Santa’s Yumnuts' tasted like
Who wants a bite of Santa's delicious Yumnut then?
(No Nut) November is here, which means it's officially okay to actually start thinking about Christmas. Mariah Carey is gearing up for 'All I Want for Christmas Is You' to be played on loop, it's getting darker and colder outside, and… Santa's Yumnuts are here. Yes, you read that correctly.
It's not what you think. British supermarket Marks & Spencer have just announced that they're releasing the Christmas-themed version of their popular doughnut hybrid – the Yumnut.

Of course, M&S knew exactly what they were doing and chose to announce their latest creation in the horniest way on Twitter. "Who wants a bite of Santa’s Yumnut™?

Find them in our in store bakery," a tweet from the brand read.

This wouldn't be the first time the M&S marketing team decided to drive everyone's minds in the gutter. Earlier this year, the brand celebrated Valentine's Day by releasing the Love Sausage, a normal sausage twisted into the shape of a heart.
#Thisisntjust any love sausage... This is the ORIGINAL love sausage and it's back! If you love sausage, you’ll love our new Give a Little Love Sausage – that’s two small sausages for £5 – as well as our large Love Sausage for £6! Who will you be sharing yours with? ❤️ pic.twitter.com/KUfKf9FNuG
