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

Christmas food is disgusting.

All of it.

Except pigs in blankets.
And bread sauce.

But that’s it.

Anyone know where I can get my hands on marzipan fruits/shaped marzipan this year?

Last year it was Lidl for me but sadly no longer live near one of those or an Aldi

I'm fed up of salted caramel bollocks admittedly I've only ever tried salted caramel pretzel

I'd have preferred the salted caramel anyways, they're more Christmassy (iykwim).

Still not over Mingles going, highlight off the year. Christmas doesn't feel the same anymore without a box off mingles under the tree.

All boxed chocs are rubbish these days.

About 3/4 years ago M+S did a tin of three different flavoured toffee, one was a gorgeous cherry. We bought loads that year and they haven't done any since...

It is probably my fault.

Everything I like goes viz

walnuts on Walnut Whips
proper Ocean Spray Cranberry and Raspberry, not that shit with Stevia in it
Texan bars
Spangles
Scottish Plain bread, once available from Tescos

I can often be seen roaming forlorn from aisle to aisle trying to track things down.

Haagen Dazs discontinued their coffee ice cream some years ago and since then I've stopped eating dairy altogether

BlueButTrue I did find some marzipan fruits in B&M but they weren't as nice as the Sainsbury's ones.

I fell out with Iceland when I bought their watermelon ice lollies this summer. Full of promise they were, shaped and coloured like a wedge of watermelon complete with ickle seeds. I dribbled all over the flyer and hot footed it to the nearest Iceland store full of excitement and anticipation...

Reader, they were horrible. Even dd2, who will eat pretty much anything, declared them revolting.

Strawberry magnums are good and have white chocolate not Christmas tree shaped but you could always wrap some tinsel around the stick to make them festive

I used to Male marzipan fruits when I was younger. With home made marzipan (no kids, loads of time. Hadn't discovered m&s Christmas food).

I'm happy to start taking orders!!!!
