For most of us, a roast turkey with all the trimmings, mulled wine, Scrabble, Home Alone and Ella Fitzgerald’s festive album embody the feeling of Christmas – but, let’s be honest, there’s nothing quite like a chocolate tub to bring the family together.
The tub of Quality Streets on the coffee table is practically part of the furniture in every Christmas special of The Royle Family, while we all remember that episode of Gavin & Stacy when Nessa, David, and Neil give out the individual chocolates as gifts (Gwen drew the "short straw" with a Bounty). It’s clear that these colourful tubs have become as much a part of the season as mince pies and fairy lights – a true cultural moment that’s passed around living rooms up and down the country.
From refining your Christmas menu and stocking up on wrapping paper to purchasing gifts and decking the halls in your home, the build-up to Christmas requires a lot of preparation – so give yourself one less thing to do in December by shopping the best chocolate tubs now.
Be it Tesco, Ocado, Amazon and Morrisons, plenty of retailers and supermarkets are selling chocolate tubs at cheap prices in the run-up to Christmas and we’ve put together a comprehensive list of all the cheapest places to shop for them, saving you time and money.
