The company that makes the Celebrations tubs has announced a major change to them for this Christmas.

Mars Wrigley has said that it will be trialling releasing some tubs that have no Bounty's in them.

They will be teaming up with Tesco to trial a new initiative of No Bounty tubs in the lead up to the festive season.

From Tuesday, November 8 for a limited time customers in select Tesco stores featuring the Christmas Market pop up, will be able to exchange tubs bought in-store that day with a new No Bounty Celebrations tub.

Other chocolates that usually come in the Celebrations selection will feature more frequently to make up for the lost number of Bounty's.

Emily Owen, Mars Wrigley’s Head of Celebrations Festive Cheer said: "Christmas is the time for giving – but it seems this year, the British public are keen for us to take away…Bounty.

"Last year, we gave customers the opportunity to return their unwanted Bounty chocolates. Now, off the back of public demand, we’re trialling taking them out of the tub altogether.

"You don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone! And to those loyal (and secret) Bounty lovers out there, there’s still a chance they’ll make a return after the trial."
