Cadbury lovers are upset that their favorite holiday treat has been removed from the festive line, causing them to feel like Christmas has been ruined.

As the autumn season arrives, many of us are already looking ahead to the festive season. And for chocolate lovers, one product in particular has been on their minds – Cadbury Festive Friends biscuits. These festive shaped biscuits, coated in delicious Dairy Milk chocolate on one side, have become a beloved treat for many. However, fans have been struggling to find them in supermarkets this year, leading to a frenzy on social media as people sought answers from the confectionery giant.

One concerned fan, Lauren Mannell, reached out to Cadbury UK on Twitter, asking if the Festive Friends biscuits had been discontinued. Sadly, the response was not what she had hoped for – the biscuits would not be returning this year. But fear not, as Cadbury has introduced a new product to fill the void – Festive Animals. These are the same beloved animal-shaped biscuits, but with festive shapes to add a touch of holiday cheer. And according to Cadbury, they taste even better when dunked in a hot chocolate.

While some fans were excited to try the new Festive Animals, others were not pleased with the change. Lauren-Talitha, a long-time fan of Festive Friends, compared getting rid of them to getting rid of Santa. She also pointed out that the new Animal biscuits were smaller and had a darker color, making them a poor substitute for the beloved Festive Friends. And she was not alone in her disappointment, as other fans took to social media to express their dismay.

But Cadbury is not the only brand facing backlash for changes to their festive products. Quality Street, another beloved holiday treat, recently made the switch from shiny wrappers to more eco-friendly paper packaging. While this move is better for the environment, many fans were upset at the loss of the iconic shiny wrappers that had been a part of Quality Street for decades. Some even switched to a different brand because they missed the shiny wrappers.

Despite these changes, there are still some positive aspects to look forward to this holiday season. Quality Street has released a limited-edition vintage tin, and Cadbury's festive treats are still available at lower prices through Clubcard promotions. However, it's important to take a moment to consider if these deals are truly worth it, as we don't want to overspend and regret it later.

In the end, it's clear that these changes to our favorite holiday treats have sparked strong reactions from fans. Whether we're excited to try something new or disappointed by the loss of a beloved tradition, one thing is for sure – chocolate plays a big role in our holiday celebrations. So let's enjoy these festive treats, no matter what shape or packaging they come in.
