Morrisons has recently announced a special offer on confectionery tubs just in time for the holiday season. From November 15 to November 21, customers can purchase popular brands like Celebrations, Quality Street, and Cadbury (Heroes and Roses) for only £2 each. This is a significant discount from the usual price of £6, allowing loyal cardholders to save over 66% when they spend £45 or more in-store.
These chocolate assortments have a long history, with companies like Cadbury and Rowntree being among the first to introduce decorative tins for their chocolates in the early 20th century. These tins were not only luxurious but also had intricate designs showcasing British culture, landscapes, and famous artwork. They were often kept and reused long after the chocolates were gone.
Quality Street, launched in 1936, was one of the first popular chocolate assortments in a tin, designed for affordability and sharing among families. Cadbury’s Roses followed in 1938, offering individually wrapped chocolates with various flavors. As supermarkets gained popularity, chocolate companies began shifting towards plastic tubs in the 1980s and 1990s to reduce costs and make the treats more accessible. Tubs of Quality Street, Roses, and Celebrations soon became synonymous with Christmas gatherings.
In recent years, there has been a growing concern for sustainability, leading some brands to return to metal tins or environmentally friendly packaging. Limited-edition flavors and seasonal designs have also become popular, keeping consumers engaged and nostalgic for the classic brands.
So, if you’re looking to stock up on some festive treats for the holiday season, now is the perfect time to head to Morrisons and grab a tub of your favorite chocolates for just £2. Don’t miss out on this limited-time offer and add some sweetness to your celebrations!
