Celebrations have been crowned as Ireland's favourite Christmas sweets by Aldi.
A new survey done by the supermarket has made for terrible reading for fans of Roses, which finished dead last in the poll.
Heroes came a respectable second, with Quality Street and Cadbury’s Selection Box joint for third.
Shockingly, Roses only managed to top the polls in five counties - Antrim, Armagh, Fermanagh, Galway and Westmeath.
The poll may have also settled another argument – which individual sweet is the best – with Maltesers Celebrations coming out on top.
Quality Street’s Strawberry Delight came in second, their Green Triangle placed third, and Celebrations’ Galaxy landed the fourth-place slot. Finishing the top five out was Heroes’ Dairy Milk.
Aldi’s survey also revealed that a whopping 170 participants (68%) admitted to eating more sweets than usual in the lead-up to Christmas.
43% of people also admitted to regularly eating sweets or desserts for breakfast during Christmas week.
Interestingly, the Aldi survey also found that 18% of people would rather sacrifice Christmas dinner than not be able to eat any treats over Christmas week.
All of the chocolate tubs are available in Aldi stores nationwide in the run up to Christmas.
