Yes, there is a difference.

Mixed spice is a blend of cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice.

Allspice is derived from the same plant as pimento. It's called allspice because it tastes like various spices.

However, for the purposes of the hot cross buns I imagine the mixed spice would work fine in the glaze.
