Celebrations fans fume at change to iconic tubs - and claim Christmas is being 'stolen'

Celebrations, a staple in many homes during the Christmas season, has left fans disappointed this week. Many fans were left furious after getting three Bounty chocolates in a row in the iconic advent calendar.

But now they are also upset because the sharing tubs, which contain a variety of mini chocolates including Snickers, Mars, Twix and the divisive Bounty, have been reduced in size from 600g to 550g.
