It's now November which means that with Halloween over, we are one day closer to Christmas.
And with the big day just weeks away, shoppers are already seeing themed decorations on the shelves - including the classic tubs of sweets which see sales soar during the festive period.
But in bad news for some - and good news for others - Celebrations have confirmed that they will be removing their Bounty bars from some of their tubs after research showed 40 per cent of people hated the coconut-based sweet treat.

According to the BBC, Mars Wrigley said a limited run of "No Bounty" tubs would be available at 40 Tesco stores throughout the UK between November 8 and December 18 in the run-up to Christmas after the brand let shoppers return unwanted Bounties last year.
Although it will be removed as part of a trial, it has yet to be decide whether the treats would be banished for good.
Mars Wrigley said its own research of two thousand people aged between 18 and 65 suggested that 18 per cent would feel irritated to find only Bounty bars were left in a tub while 58 per cent believed it would lead to a family argument.
In addition, 22 per cent said Bounty was their least favourite of all the options in tubs with 18 per cent calling it their favourite. On top of this, 39 per cent wanted the bars gone for good with 38 per cent of over 55's saying it was their most loved sweet.
Mars Wrigley said the limited edition tubs would include additional Mars, Snickers, Milky Way, Galaxy and Maltesers sweets.
Celebrations senior brand manager Emily Owen said: "Last year, we gave customers the opportunity to return their unwanted Bounty chocolates. Now, off the back of public demand, we're trialling taking them out of the tub altogether.
The announcement provoked a strong reaction from some with thousand taking to Twitter to express their feelings.
One said: "Good riddance, Bounty."
Another added: "Why do you people hate Bounty so much? It’s such a lovely chocolate bar. How can you not like coconut???"
"As far as I'm concerned, good riddance." tweeted a third.
A clever fourth added: "That’s bounty cause controversy"
