Where are all the Selection Boxes this year?

[Sexyin2026]

There are no traditional stockings with chocolate bars in, and very few selection boxes. Is it the same everywhere? I've tried Aldi, Asda and Tesco - very very few to be had.

I saw masses of Cadbury selection boxes (not stocking shaped) in a big Asda just yesterday.

Tesco, Morrisons and Asda all stock the galaxy dairy free selection box. It is usually not with the Christmas stuff, just in tbe normal free from area. Also saw the NOMO ones in Tesco yesterday.

Iceland had some quite good ones - the Nestle ones were better then the Cadbury ones I thought

I got a stocking shaped box one in home
Bargains.

Literally made the call a few weeks ago to make bags and fill them with bars from multipacks rather than buy one from Tescos.

In the storeroom on my ward! We’ve got bags and bags of them.

Crikey 😱

OP, I just saw LOADS in Lidl, but all small/cardboard box. I haven't seen a stocking for years.

Tesco had Nomo very small boxes in store today

They're absolutely tiny! I bought one to share in the office as a bit of a joke as we were all agog at how tiny the bars are, some no bigger than a large sweet. Good if you are on a diet..

Don't blame me, blame my parents. Along with ITV, white sliced bread, and various other very normal aspects of a 70s/80s childhood. And pillowcases of presents

celebrations/roses etc are not only more expensive but the tubs are smaller.

Even the purple caramel ones with nuts have changed shape no longer the long shape of youth they are circular now. Travesty.

And don't get me started on the size of the advent calendars chocolates & Xmas tree chocolate decorations. They're so ridiculously miniscule now they're not worth bothering with.
The selection box bars are shrinking so much year on year that they'll soon be small enough to hang on the tree in place of proper xmas tree choc decorations. We're being fleeced left, right & centre

Thank you! I had no idea what the OP was referencing.

Gosh they sound like insufferable snobs. No selection box??!! Tragic 😂

We have 14 crates full from donations at our food bank. Thank you everyone who donated. Far too many to give out at Christmas, but will tide us over for confectionery into next year.

Cadbury is American owned - maybe it's too small a market to make stuff just for uk

This is what I remember.

Six bars totalling 174g makes 29g a bar. That's not the bars they are using to illustrate!

Tesco have them. I bought a couple when we were asked to contribute chocolate for the school Christmas fair. They were cheaper than a big chocolate bar or box of maltesers.

B&M had loads but all shrunk

I remember them, full size bars and no boxing to make it look more than it actually is.

They look so small, even supposed larger selection packs. It''s too embarrassing to gift to a child now.

Seen in Tescos
