Müllerlight has also launched two other limited edition flavours for the festive season – Irish coffee and gin and tonic.

Michael Inpong, chief marketing officer at Müller, said: “With the constant shifting consumer behaviour, we need to find smart ways to grow the brand and drive category growth.

“We’ve already strengthened the core with a new and improved recipe, and we’re launching two new limited editions, Müllerlight Irish Coffee Flavour Yoghurt and Müllerlight Mince Pie Flavour Yoghurt.

We’ve already strengthened the core with a new and improved recipe.

“Gin is the UK’s favourite spirit, and now people can enjoy the taste in a yoghurt that is also fat free, high in protein and contains 0% added sugar.”

Meanwhile, ahead of the festive period, Morrisons is selling a mince pie flavoured sandwich.
