CHOCOLATE DEBATES HEAT UP THIS CHRISTMAS AS MALTESERS® IS NAMED LONDON'S FAVOURITE CELEBRATION

It seems that no matter where you are in the UK, Christmas chocolate is one of the most hotly contested topics of the season. And with Maltesers leading the pack in London, the annual chocolate debate is about to get even more intense.

To celebrate (and stir the tub), Roman and Martin Kemp are taking to London's streets in a festive rickshaw to declare Maltesers as the city's top pick. With a loudspeaker and plenty of Maltesers to share, the duo will shout the news across the capital, spreading Christmas cheer while challenging Londoners to settle the debate about which Celebrations deserves the crown.

Roman Kemp says: "Nothing says Christmas like an argument over the chocolate tub. Whether it's about who gets the last one or why no one's eating the Bounty, the debates are endless. I'm firmly on Team Maltesers, but Dad is very much Team Twix. We're ready to bring the chaos to the streets and see if London agrees with me." 

While Maltesers leads the way in London, Celebrations' research reveals that the nation's chocolate preferences are far from united with 33% of people admitting to having a 'first pick' when it comes to the Celebrations tub.

Londoners choose Maltesers as their favourite, but debates rage on:

It's clear that chocolate brings families together – but also fuels some of the most memorable Christmas debates. Whether you're Team Maltesers, Team Snickers or even Team Bounty, Celebrations is inviting all chocolate lovers to join the debate this Christmas using the hashtag #MyFavourite.

If you're a true Londoner and Maltesers is your favourite, head to Tesco to buy an all-Maltesers Celebrations centrepiece. This year shoppers also have the chance to win 1 of 500,000 winning tickets inside Celebrations Tubs in Tesco stores.
