Christmas is just around the corner, but unfortunately, one beloved treat won't be making an appearance on Australian shelves this year. The popular brand, "Celebrations," owned by Mars, has been discontinued in Australia due to increasing importation costs. This news has left many fans disappointed and searching for alternative options to satisfy their sweet tooth cravings.
Since its debut in 1997, Celebrations has been a staple in many households during the holiday season. However, Mars has announced that they are facing challenges with the rising costs of importing products from Europe, where the chocolates are produced. A spokesperson for Mars explained, "Like many other Australian businesses, we are experiencing cost pressures and supply challenges. As a result, we have made the difficult decision to discontinue Celebrations in Australia."
But it's not all bad news. Mars is hopeful that they will be able to bring back Celebrations in the future. The spokesperson stated, "We know Celebrations is a much-loved brand, so we are currently exploring options to reintroduce it in 2025." This gives fans something to look forward to and hope for in the coming years.
The news of Celebrations being discontinued was first reported by radio host Ben Fordham on his show, and many were shocked and saddened by the news. Fordham shared, "You know those Celebrations chocolates?...Well, they're gone. We've noticed that they've disappeared from the shelves." He then called up TikToker Russ Eats, who had previously ranked Christmas chocolates, with Celebrations taking the top spot. Russ shared his own experience of trying to purchase the chocolates as Christmas presents, only to find out that they were no longer available. He said, "I've done some investigating and found they were gone, so I've had to go for some sub-par Chrissy present for the family."
Inside a box of Celebrations, you would typically find popular brands such as Snickers, Bounty, Mars, Galaxy, and Malteser. These chocolates have been a go-to gift for many during the holiday season, and their absence will surely be missed.
