We're just past Halloween, but already Christmas sweet tins have made their way onto shelves.
One of them is set to look very different for some in 2022 though, as Mars Wrigley have confirmed that they will be producing Celebrations tins without the mini-Bounty bar.
We are not exaggerating when we say it has already divided opinions.

The manufacturer confirmed on Thursday morning that in a pre-Christmas trial in the UK, customers will be able to swap their tins for 'No Bounty' alternatives.
The trial will be undertaken at Tesco Christmas Market sites in the UK and lasts until December 18.
The limited edition tins will instead contain additional Mars, Snickers, Milky Way, Galaxy and Maltesers sweets to make up for the missing Bounty bars.
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.
"You don't know what you've got until it's gone. And to those loyal - and secret - Bounty lovers out there, there's still a chance they'll make a return after the trial."
The move comes after Mars Wrigley said it's own study had showed that 18% of British people were irritated when finding only Bounty bars left at the bottom of the tin.
58% said it would lead to a family argument!
While 39% wanted the bars gone for good, 22% liked Bounty the least of all the tub's options.
A further 28% claimed that coconut had no place in a chocolate bar at all.
Don't worry Irish Bounty-lovers, the trial is UK-exclusive - for now.
