Shoppers left disappointed by Celebrations advent calendar after worst start to the month

December has arrived which means advent calendars up and down the UK are now being opened and consumed.

Many people are getting into the festive spirit, but this is not the case for many shoppers with Celebrations advent calendars, who woke up to find a Bounty behind door number one for the second year running.

Mars Incorporated - the company which makes Celebrations - came under fire from Twitter users last year for its advent calendar after the divisive coconut chocolate was first out, reports Wales Online.

The Bounty is back at number one again and shoppers are not happy.

Many have taken to Twitter, with many claiming this is a "cruel joke" and they "might as well cancel Christmas".

One person said: "The first door on the Celebrations advent calendar being a bounty is like some sort of cruel joke, like hope you weren't banking on a good start to the month".

Another added: "Imagine the feeling when today, December 1st, I excitedly reached for my Celebrations advent calendar only to find a f****** Bounty being door #1".

One person said: "Christmas ruined already!", while another added: "No. What kind of a sick joke is this though?"

However despite this disappointment, Bounty is a favourite according to Mars Inc, which polled chocolate lovers and separated the results into five age groups.

Maltesers was the winner in all five age groups and was closely followed by Galaxy, Galaxy Caramel and Twix.
