How exactly does an "Ornament" constitute a Christmas variety?
It is the thin end of the bloody wedge, I tell you.
They have upset my "Human rights" or something.
I saw a Lindt Bunny Advent calendar today.

Are those Christmas Pudding things around this year?  Can't even remember who made them but at least they had an obvious festive connection, unlike eggs.

Yes, I too am totally baffled by the use of the word 'ornament'.  I don't know why they're bothering anyway. Come Christmas Eve, next year's Creme Eggs will be on sale. It's a total waste of packaging. Shame on Cadbury.
Old but spicey!

I suppose it's meant to look like a tree ornament - but it's just a creme egg. Seems a bit of a waste of time to me.

We get Creme Egg "new wrapper" and New Zealanders  get this lot!

 

Cadbury treat their UK customers with indifference at best.

Those Aussie/NZ/Canada bars sound very interesting - especially the Black Forest.

They were made by Cadbury. My nan bought 72 one Christmas.
