Brits have started shopping early for festive food over fears of shortages of Christmas dinner essentials. Other chocolate brands, such as Nestlé and Cadbury, have launched their usual advent calendars and they are already available to buy in supermarkets. Earlier this week, the fast-food chain launched the Choco Fudge Latte and the Hot Chocolate Deluxe. Celebrations is one of the most popular advent calendars each year - but often causes controversy among fans of the chocs. But this year, shoppers will miss out on guessing which chocolate bar will be the first to be discovered behind the cardboard door.

Shoppers could therefore make their own advent calendar by buying a tub of Celebrations and cutting out a calendar from a cardboard box. In 2019 fans were up in arms because they've discovered Bounty bars behind the first TWO doors of their chocolate advent calendars. Shoppers were overjoyed last year to find the first flavour behind the door on December 1 was NOT a Bounty. Parents have been warned that children could be left disappointed this year as the must-have toys sell out.

Anyone lost without the popular advent calendar this Christmas could consider making their own, by purchasing the chocs separately and popping them in a make-your-own countdown.
