Why does Christmas chocolate appear in UK stores so early?
While most Brits were excited to see the return of Cadbury Mini Snowballs chocolate bars, others said it was "way too early" for Christmas treats to be hitting supermarket shelves.
But Mondelēz International (Cadbury owners) previously revealed it is not always the company's decision as to when festive treats are released in supermarkets.
It explained that retailers are free to choose when products appear on shelves, and "due to supply chain reasons, some products will be on shelves a little earlier" than the rest.

Why your Christmas dinner could cost a lot more this year
Food inflation is forecast to continue rising, potentially reaching six per cent by the end of the year, making Christmas shopping more expensive. The Bank of England has warned that increasing food prices could push overall inflation to four per cent, having already cut interest rates for the fifth time this year. Business leaders attribute rising inflation partly to Labour's autumn tax increases, such as higher employer national insurance contributions, which force retailers to raise prices. The British Retail Consortium estimates that government policies, including a rise in the national living wage and a new packaging tax, have added an extra £7 billion to retailer costs this year. A poll by the BRC found that two-thirds of retailers anticipate further price increases this year, with many having already raised prices or implemented hiring freezes.

Christmas dinner warning as costs could rise after Labour tax changes
Food inflation is set to continue to rise to the end of the year, industry figures have warned, potentially reaching a high of six per cent in time for Christmas. This means an even pricier festive shop can be expected, as stubbornly fixed headline inflation (CPI) causes prices to continue to rise across the board. Currently at around 3.5 per cent, the Bank of England has warned that increasing food prices could bring inflation to four per cent as it voted for a fifth cut in interest rates in a year on Thursday. Decision makers pointed to Labour's autumn tax rises as a contributing factor in rising inflation, with business chiefs arguing that higher costs from an increase to employer national insurance contributions (NICs) has had to be offset by increased prices. The British Retail Consortium (BRC) has estimated that the cost of this policy and others like a rise to the national living wage and new packaging tax has added an extra £7 billion to retailer costs this year. This will drive food inflation up to six per cent by the end of the year, the industry body predicts, posing challenges for household finances in the run up to Christmas. Meat, poultry and tea prices have been some of the fastest rising this year, which can be partly linked to global factors like high demand and crop issues. In a recent poll of retail finance chiefs representing over 9,000 stores, the retailer body found that two-thirds predict they will have to raise prices further this year. Around 85 per cent of these said they had already increased prices, with 42 per cent said they had put a hiring freeze in place. Commenting on the Bank's interest decision, BRC chief executive Helen Dickinson said: 'Food prices have already been climbing steadily, and the BRC has warned this is only the beginning. If the Autumn Budget once again lands on the shoulders of retailers, then it will only serve to fan the flames of food inflation – with poorer families being hit the hardest by the Treasury's decisions. 'While retailers are doing everything they can to shield their customers from rising prices, their ability to absorb further costs is extremely limited. If Government goes ahead with its planned higher business rates threshold for 4,000 larger stores – including many supermarkets – then it will be ordinary households who suffer the most.'
