The countdown to Christmas is officially underway as people begin opening their advent calendars each day in December.
It's a welcome treat for youngsters - but only if yours has got any chocolate in.
Cadbury has come under fire from parents as some children are finding their advent calendars to be completely empty, Manchester Evening News reports.
The products allegedly affected are as follows:
Cadbury Dairy Milk Advent Calendar, the Cadbury Heroes Advent Calendar and Cadbury Dairy Milk Santa’s Workshop Advent Calendar
Angry mums and dads have taken to Twitter to express their frustration.
Under a photo of the chocolate-less door, one disgruntled dad said: "My lad opened his advent Calendar and there’s no chocolate. Opened the back and it's empty. Cheers sons crying. Nice one."
Another woman claimed the empty calendar had left her five-year old upset.
She said: "@CadburyUK#cadburys#AdventCalendar one upset five year old this morning when his advent calendar is totally empty. @CadburyWorld."
Another woman posted a video of her empty advent calendar, writing: "When your little boy opens his @CadburyUK advent calendar and it’s EMPTY."
A spokesperson for Cadbury said: "We’re sorry to hear about the issues some of our fans are facing with chocolate missing from inside the Cadbury Dairy Milk Advent Calendar, the Cadbury Heroes Advent Calendar and Cadbury Dairy Milk Santa’s Workshop Advent Calendar, and would like to reassure people that quality is of paramount importance to us.
"We encourage any customers who have received an advent calendar that is not up to standard to speak to our customer care team as soon as possible."
