  • Disappointed customers found Bounty chocolates behind the first three doors of the Celebrations advent calendar.
  • The divisive treat sparked outrage on social media, with some claiming it "ruined Christmas."
  • Mars, Milky Way, Galaxy, and Maltesers are also included in the 24-day countdown, but early focus on Bounty left fans fuming.
  • Celebrations advent calendars have previously faced backlash over similar controversies.

Shoppers excited for their daily dose of festive sweetness were left disappointed after finding Bounty chocolates behind the first three doors of their Celebrations advent calendar. The unpopular coconut-filled treat, often dubbed a "love-it-or-hate-it" chocolate, caused outrage online as fans vented their frustration.

Social media platforms were flooded with complaints, with one disgruntled customer declaring, “Day one was a Bounty, day two was a Bounty, and day three is another! I can’t take much more!” Another user vowed never to buy the calendar again, saying, “Christmas is officially ruined.”

The advent calendar typically includes a mix of Mars, Milky Way, Galaxy, and Maltesers chocolates, offering a daily surprise in the lead-up to Christmas. However, the initial Bounty overload left a bitter taste for some fans, reigniting debates over the divisive treat’s place in Celebrations tubs.

Celebrations has previously faced backlash for similar issues, with Bounty often the source of controversy. Despite the uproar, the calendar remains popular among chocolate lovers looking to countdown the days to Christmas with festive treats.

Tom Church adds: “Advent calendars are meant to be fun surprises, but clearly, not everyone appreciates a Bounty bonanza. It’s a reminder to read reviews or consider DIY calendars to tailor the experience to your taste!"
