Discontinued popular Matchmakers flavour returns in time for Christmas as shoppers stock up

Whilst we still have Halloween to get through, many people will be looking ahead to Christmas with videos going viral of the classic Quality Streets boxes coming back in their hundreds.

And whilst Quality Streets aren't just for Christmas, we see more and more of them at this time of year signalling that December 25 is just around the corner.

Just last week we reported on one popular item that was making a comeback after 14 years off the shelf and shoppers clearly couldn't get enough.

But now another item has made a return after over nine years - and it's just in time for Christmas.

Taking to Facebook's private group, Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, one shopper shared with its two million member what they had come across.

They snapped a photo of a Matchmaker box but it was a flavour not many had seen of 'Caramel Coffee'. In the caption they wrote: "Got these at Tesco £1.25 not sure if they are new" as they shared the red box.

The popular Quality Street item was discounted a while back, as confirmed by Nestle on Twitter, with people having taken to their Facebook page back in 2013 asking for them to be brought back only for the company to reply that they had "no plans" to to do. But it seems this is no longer the case in good news to many.

In response to the post, it was clear that people were excited for its long awaited return with one stating it was due to return last year but it never happened.

Taking to the comments one said: "I used to love coffee matchmakers but they discontinued them. Got to try these babies!"

Another commented: "They discontinued coffee flavour and introduced gingerbread flavour. Just went to see online and it’s only mint and orange. Stop teasing me with the coffee flavours."

"They used to do coffee ones years ago I used to love them" wrote a third.
