Although Christmas is still five months away, the first Christmas chocolate of 2025 has already been spotted.
Cadbury Mini Snowballs chocolate bars were found in Asda by Newfoodsuk, much to the excitement of shoppers.
One person, commenting on Facebook, said: "Oh wow, I’m still trying to finish this years Easter eggs, better hurry so I can start on the Xmas chocs."
Another added: "Still wanna eat it though… even if it is 5 months early."
A third person commented: "Omg freaking yes!!"
Cadbury's Mini Snowballs chocolate bar received rave reviews upon its release ahead of Christmas 2024.
One person, commenting on Amazon, said: "My favourite chocolate bar."
While another shopper posted: "This new chocolate bar is fantastic. Great taste Fabulous."
Mars has also released its first Christmas-themed chocolates of 2025, with Gingerbread Flavour Maltesers Reindeer spotted on Morrisons' website (£1 for one or £2 for a 5-pack).
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.
Mondelēz International (Cadbury owners) 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".
A Mondelēz International spokesperson said: "Most of our range will be available from August 2025, through to Christmas and as long as stocks last.
"Due to supply chain reasons, some products will be on shelves a little earlier than that."
