Mars has issued an update on the future of Celebrations in the UK after the popular chocolates were discontinued in Australia.
Mars Wrigley is responsible for a range of chocolates including M&Ms, Snickers, Skittles and of course Mars bars.
One of Mars' more popular products is its Celebrations tubs, which consists of eight different chocolates:
- Mars
- Snickers
- Maltesers
- Galaxy
- Caramel Galaxy
- Bounty
- Milky Way
- Twix
It is particularly popular around the festive season, with Celebrations being voted the UK's favourite Christmas chocolate in 2023.
Celebrations discontinued in Australia
Despite its popularity, Mars revealed this week that Celebrations chocolates had been discontinued in Australia.
A Mars spokesman, speaking in The Advertiser, said: “Our Celebrations products are imported from Europe and like many Australian businesses importing products from overseas, we’re experiencing rising cost pressures and supply challenges.
“We’ve made the difficult decision to discontinue Celebrations in Australia.”
Discontinued UK chocolates and sweets
The spokesperson added: "We know Celebrations is a much loved brand so we’re currently reviewing options to reintroduce Celebrations in 2025."
