Let's face it, chocolates are an essential part of any good Christmas.

Whether you're biting your nails at Coronation Street on the big day, or settling down to watch a festive film with the family - a tub of chocolates makes everything better. You have to act quickly, otherwise you'll be left with the one flavour nobody in the house actually likes (Bounty, we're looking at you).

But this year, one of the nation's favourite sweet treats appear to be 'missing' - and people aren't happy. Now, Cadbury Roses has confirmed there has been 'supply chain challenges' that will affect some of its much-loved tins.

Taking to X, formally known as Twitter, eagle-eyed chocolate fans quickly realised the Orange Cremes were absent from their festive choccies. "Our tub of Cadbury Roses doesn't have any Orange Cremes and I'm taking this as a personal attack," one user wrote.

Another fumed: "No orange sweets," with two crying-face emojis. A third added: "Disappointed to not I bought a tub of roses and there wasn't a single Caramel or Orange Creme in there."

Replying to the slew of online complaints, Cadbury UK said: "This year, a small percentage of Cadbury Roses products will not contain any Orange Cremes due to supply chain challenges. But don't worry, you'll still be able to enjoy the same amount of chocolate as usual as we've replaced them with our much-loved Strawberry Cremes."

Some Cadbury fans are still raging that their favourite festive treat has been discontinued. Recently, it was revealed the Wispa Gold Hot Chocolate is no longer available to buy.

It became apparent that the chocolate giant had stopped producing it when a super-fan checked multiple stores and couldn't find it anymore, taking to X, to ask Cadbury why it wasn't on shelves. Cadbury confirmed the item was no longer on shelves, but told fans: "We still have lots of other chocolatey treats to buy."
