About Celebrations

Celebrations is a tub of miniature versions of Mars bars sold principally at Christmas, launched in 1997. Which miniature is worst is a recurring subject of British public argument, and the company has changed the assortment in response. Bounty was removed from some tubs in 2022 after a public vote, a promotion that generated substantial press coverage.
