Co-op’s 2026 Easter range features all the buns, eggs and general sweetness you might expect. 

The Co-op has revealed its Easter range for this year, featuring new and exciting egg and hot cross bun offerings “inspired by nostalgic and much-loved flavours of cherry bakewell, peach melba and the favourite ice cream flavour from the 70s,” it said.

The retailer has added six new lines this year, including a egg inspired by a childhood favourite - Neapolitan ice-cream. Elsewhere, the classic cherry bakewell flavour takes star of the show in the bakery aisle.
