If you missed out on last Christmas's most talked-about festive drink then consider this your second chance. The delicious Baileys x Terry's Chocolate Orange is officially returning for Christmas 2026 after becoming the number one festive spirit innovation and we're genuinely not surprised.
When we got an early taste of the limited-edition collaboration last Christmas, our verdict was immediately that it tastes even better than the original Baileys. Yep, no lie!
It combines Baileys' signature Irish cream with the unmistakable chocolate-orange flavour of Terry's Chocolate Orange, it's rich, velvety and wonderfully indulgent, with just the right amount of citrus to lift it up. If you've never polished off an entire Terry's Chocolate Orange while sipping on a glass of Baileys with ice, you've been doing Christmas all wrong. And this essentially combines the two festive favourites into one easy pour.
We loved it so much that we described it as "Christmas in a bottle" after our first taste. And judging by shoppers' reactions, we weren't the only ones. The festive collaboration became last Christmas's biggest new launch in the spirits category.
And the good news is you won't have to wait long to get your hands on the limited-edition Baileys x Terry's Chocolate Orange Irish Cream Liqueur (50cl) which starts rolling out across Tesco, Sainsbury's, Morrisons, Co-op, Ocado, Amazon and Iceland now. A bottle will cost £16.50, but we picked it up on sale last year so do keep an eye out.
As for how to drink it, there are plenty of options. Pour it over ice for an easy after-dinner treat, stir a splash through hot chocolate for the ultimate festive upgrade or shake it into a chocolate-orange espresso martini if you're feeling a little more adventurous.
