It appears they are not doing their white chocolate and strawberry Christmas trees this year. Only the stupid salted caramel and milk chocolate ones.

They were the entire point of December.

They have RUINED my Christmas Xmas Angry

Aldi is your friend. Except they're white chocolate and raspberry. Which you may not like. And now the post is pointless. Sad

I still miss Worcestershire sauce twiglets, so much so this is the second time I've mentioned them on my this week.

Shame on them Honey

You can get the white chocolate and Raspberries ones in a few places. But only Iceland did the strawberrie ones.

They should mess with peoples emotions like this. MiL has never been quite right since Bendydicks binned Mingles.

Oh...

I thought another volcano had gone off, distributing plumes of toxic ash across northern Europe and disrupting everyone's Christmas travel plans. Nevermind ShockGrin

Ah well, that is annoying OP.

My Christmas would be ruined if Lidl were to discontinue their dark chocolate barrels filled with brandy or advocaat. I love them both and stock up every year ( think this is the fourth year ). They do tend to sell out. Are you sure Iceland doesn't just need to restock ?

OP I hear your grievance and I raise you this:

Last year I ordered this amazing pie from M&S on click and collect, planning to serve it at a party. Had got pretty overexcited about it due to glossy photography in the xmas catalogue. It was a long, loaf shaped pie that you would cut into slices lengthways and it had (as I recall), turkey, bacon and sausages inside. You can see from my loving description how attached I had become.... So on the morning of the party I go to collect it, and there is NO FUCKING PIE. Store were hugely apologetic and gave us £25 voucher and a free bottle of champagne. I was naturally devastated. I promised myself that I would get the pie next year... So after an agonising wait, Christmas cometh once again, so I eagerly rip the catalogue out of its cellophane, planning to order the pie there and then. And this year there is NO SUCH PIE.

I will never forgive Greggs for discontinuing their gingerbread cupcake with cream cheese frosting topped off with a teeny gingerbread man. Every year I peer through the window with hope in my heart but they’re nowhere to be found.

I do quite like festive bake mind you.

And why, in the ready to eat party food, do Sainsbury's only have turkey and stuffing pasties and pork and cranberry sausage rolls? I got so much more last year! Xmas Confused

Grocers' Law at work here innit?

Take a much-loved item, discontinue it and replace with some utter crap and hope that the plebs valued consumers are so dull-witted that they don't even notice.

Probably works the majority of the time to be fair.

And of course, if you were to tackle them about this, they'd look you straight in the eye and say "No, we've never actually stocked those, have we Janice? Are you maybe thinking of Farm Foods? Or Bejam? Or FreshCo? I know they used to stock that sort of thing".

So the bastards have done you over proper good styleee and they are making out that you are the one in the wrong.

Fumming does not even begin to cover it.

Every year I get angry with McDonalds all over again when they still don't sell festive pies. Atrocious cunts.

On the other hand, Aldi have started selling some kind of enchanted ambrosia called 'winter spice Greek yogurt '. Goddammit that stuff's good.
