The trial takes place on December 17 and 18 in partnership with delivery firm Deliveroo.
EasyJet director of cabin services Tina Milton said: “Our cabin crew have really missed doing what they love to do best, serving our customers.
“This trial gives us a great opportunity to bring easyJet to customers’ doors with our trolley delivery service.

EasyJet is operating around a fifth of planned flights due to the coronavirus pandemic.
EasyJet chief executive Johan Lundgren said: “Our cabin crew provide a fantastic service for our customers in the air but while they are not flying as much we have the ideal opportunity to provide our famous inflight service on the ground.
“Through this trial I’m pleased to see that our crew are able to deliver a bit of holiday cheer to homes this Christmas.”
