Heathrow Airport is making sure travellers do not miss out on their festive dinner when flying on Christmas Day.
All passengers travelling on December 25 will be able to experience the tastes of roast turkey and Christmas pudding - in the form of sweets.
There will be more than 16,677 Heathrow passengers taking to the air just before the Queen gives her speech on TV between 1pm and 3pm.
The specially designed sweets taste “surprisingly like a real Christmas meal” according to the airport, so travellers can feel like they are having a traditional dinner despite being 30,000 feet in the air.
A number of combinations were tested including cranberry sauce, mince pies and honey glazed carrots, but turkey, sage and onion stuffing and Christmas puddings were said to taste the most authentic.
Normand Boivin, chief operating officer at Heathrow said: “With a huge number of passengers set to fly from Heathrow this Christmas, we are giving merry travellers a festive send off as they embark on their holidays.
"We wanted to bring to life the warm and exciting feeling everyone gets on December 25and what better way to make sure flyers don’t miss out on the most exciting moment of the day than by recreating the quintessential Christmas dinner.”
The Boarding Bon Bons will be handed out across all five terminals from December 24 to December 26.
