Mars has issued an update on the future of Celebrations in the UK after the popular chocolates were discontinued in Australia.
Mars Wrigley is responsible for a range of chocolates including M&Ms, Snickers, Skittles and of course Mars bars.
One of Mars' more popular products is its Celebrations tubs, which consists of eight different chocolates:
- Mars
- Snickers
- Maltesers
- Galaxy
- Caramel Galaxy
- Bounty
- Milky Way
- Twix
It is particularly popular around the festive season, with Celebrations being voted the UK's favourite Christmas chocolate in 2023.
Celebrations discontinued in Australia
Despite its popularity, Mars revealed this week that Celebrations chocolates had been discontinued in Australia.
A Mars spokesman, speaking in The Advertiser, said: “Our Celebrations products are imported from Europe and like many Australian businesses importing products from overseas, we’re experiencing rising cost pressures and supply challenges.
“We’ve made the difficult decision to discontinue Celebrations in Australia.”
Discontinued UK chocolates and sweets
The spokesperson added: "We know Celebrations is a much loved brand so we’re currently reviewing options to reintroduce Celebrations in 2025."

Mars issues update on the future of Celebrations in the UK
Before British fans begin to panic, Mars has confirmed Celebrations aren't going anywhere here in the UK, despite being discontinued overseas.
A Mars Wrigley UK spokesperson said: "Since their creation in our Slough chocolate factory in 1997, Celebrations have remained a beloved staple in UK households.
"Whether you're a Bounty fan or a Snickers fanatic, rest assured that everyone's favourite treats will continue to available across the UK for festive celebrations and everyday moments."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
