Britain’s top-selling Christmas chocolates have shrunk in size this year – but prices have risen by as much as 33.3% in some cases, The Grocer can reveal.

Quality Street Tubs have shrunk by 8.3% from 600g to 550g. Despite this, their pre-promotional shelf price has risen by 16.7% year on year in Tesco, Sainsbury’s and Morrisonsm up from £6 to £7 [Assosia 52 w/e 8 September 2025].

In Asda, however, the 550g tubs are cheaper than the 600g ones were last year. The old 600g ones were £6 and the new 550g ones are £4.68 in the retailer.
