Cadbury discontinues festive chocolate as fans cry 'Christmas is ruined'

CADBURY has confirmed a chocolate that had previously been a part of it's Christmas range has been discontinued.

The confectionery company is responsible for a range of popular chocolates including Freddos, Boost, Crunchie, Creme Eggs and the classic Dairy Milk.

In November (2023), Cadbury confirmed it had discontinued its peanut caramel crisp chocolate bar after just five years on UK shelves.

In the lead-up to Easter this year the company revealed Mini Eggs chocolate cartons "will not be returning", a decision it said was based on the "changing tastebuds" of Cadbury fans.

Dairy Milk Orange chocolate bars have also been discontinued by Cadbury in 2024.
