These Pladis seasonal products have been announced by the brand as a range of new and returning options from Jacob's, McVitie's and Carr's. The products are all focused on festive indulgence and include a range of limited-edition options like the McVitie's Blissfuls Belgian Milk Chocolate & Cream, Jacob's Mini Cheddars Original and Treeselets, and more. It's reported that 50% of the new products will be non-HFSS to comply with new regulations and keep them in line with consumer demand for permissible indulgence.
Marketing Director - Seasonal & Cake, Pladis UK&I Cassie French spoke on the Pladis seasonal products saying, "With two years of muted celebrations behind us, we’re anticipating this year’s festivities will be bigger than ever. We’ve no doubt our portfolio of cracker selection boxes will be particularly popular this year. As Brits tuck into cheese boards and gather together with friends and family in larger groups, products which are perfectly placed for sharing will perform well."
