Welcome to Yorkshire
Published on December 12th, 2025
•Trying to find the perfect Christmas present can feel like a massive mission. It is easy to get lost in a sea of options, from a fancy lip liner trio to a glitzy Cartier bracelet. But sometimes the best gifts are the ones you can eat. When it comes to delicious treats, one name in Yorkshire always comes to mind:
Bettys. This famous tearoom has been around for more than a century and now it is making it super simple to get its festive goodies delivered right to someone’s door. The only catch is that these Christmas hampers are selling out quickly, so anyone hoping to get one in time for December 25th needs to act fast.

A slice of Yorkshire delivered to your door
Bettys has been a Yorkshire institution since it first opened in 1919. With tearooms in places like Harrogate and York, it is the go-to spot for a proper cup of tea and a slice of something sweet. But if a trip to Yorkshire is not possible, there is no problem at all. Bettys has a whole collection of Christmas hampers available online, packed with festive food delights.
It is the perfect way to send a thoughtful gift without battling the crowds. While some people are fighting over discounts on cordless vacuums, others can sort their Christmas presents from the sofa. These hampers are ideal for anyone who loves the iconic tearoom or simply appreciates really good cake. Some items on the website even have a selling fast label, which is a clear sign to get a move on. It is a far better option than scrambling for a last-minute gift.
What is inside the festive hampers?
So what exactly can people expect inside these sought-after parcels? One of the top sellers is the Delightfully Yorkshire Gift Bag, priced at £30. It has been incredibly popular, with more than 200 sold in just 24 hours. It is a great choice for anyone who wants a taste of traditional Yorkshire treats. Inside the gift bag you will find
- 1 Yorkshire Shortbread Box
- 1 Yorkshire Gingerbread
- 2 Milk Chocolate Guinea
- 1 Yorkshire Fruit Cake.
For those wanting something more classic for the big day, the Royal Iced Merry Christmas Cake is available for £36.25. This is not just any fruitcake. It is packed with fruits soaked in sherry, cherries and nuts, then covered in marzipan and royal icing.
If a traditional fruitcake is not for everyone, there is also the Bettys Classics Selection hamper for £50. This is a brilliant sharing option for families on cold winter days. It includes tea, coffee and a selection of treats like gingerbread, shortbread and Florentines which are elegant biscuits made with chocolate, nuts and fruit. It is the type of hamper that immediately makes the house feel more festive.
Getting your Bettys goodies in time for Christmas
This next part is important. To make sure the delicious food arrives before Christmas Day on December 25th, ordering early is essential. Bettys offers several delivery options so shoppers can choose whichever suits them best. The standard option is Royal Mail Tracked at £3.95, which allows customers to pick a one to two day arrival window. There is also a Next or Nominated Day delivery service for guaranteed arrival by noon, with prices starting at £10.95. It is the ideal way to ensure that chocolate, cakes and biscuits all arrive safely.
Imagine sitting under a cosy festive blanket, listening to Christmas songs on new earbuds and knowing that a beautiful Bettys hamper is already on its way. It feels far better than panicking over last-minute shopping. Whether it is a large hamper, a small foodie treat or even a Christmas mystery box, being organised brings serious festive peace of mind.
What are shoppers saying?
A quick look at reviews can tell you a lot. Bettys currently has more than 31,000 reviews on Trustpilot which shows how much people love the service. One customer wrote: "Excellent company. Superb baked goods, beautifully packaged, never a problem. 100 per cent quality service as it should be. Bettys has been a traditional favourite of ours for many years now and I do not see that changing. Try their fondant fancies, especially the chocolate orange ones."
Another reviewer praised the delivery experience:
"The whole process of having a special surprise delivered was easy and trouble free. I was kept informed by Bettys every step of the way."
One customer who bought a gift box said: "I bought the gift box as a thank you present. It was very well received and devoured quickly. It was a little taste of what Bettys does best. They loved it."
Not every review is glowing. One person commented: "Arrived before date. I did not like the texture. I had hoped it would be a lighter cake but found it rather heavy." Meanwhile someone else said the complete opposite: "Bettys was delectable. The food is fantastic. Will definitely order again."
Most people agree the quality is exactly what you would expect from such a famous Yorkshire tearoom.
Other festive food options out there
Bettys may be a favourite, but it is not the only option for festive hampers. The British Hamper Company has a Christmas Treats Hamper for £59.97 featuring eight items including fudge and cookies. Fortnum and Mason also offers its luxurious Festivi Tea Gift Box for £60 which includes a mug, tea and biscuits. These are excellent alternatives, but there is something extra special about opening a hamper from a classic Yorkshire brand.
With so many festive gifts available, from food hampers to new winter jumpers, the trick is simply finding what suits the person best. For anyone with a sweet tooth or a love for Yorkshire traditions, a Bettys hamper is the perfect Christmas treat.
