Ferrero UK is debuting a new Easter line that brings back past releases and showcases new treats. Thorntons will add a new molded chocolate figure called the ‘White Chocolate Bunny,’ along with a complete packaging redesign to celebrate the holiday.
This redesign will see the Easter-themed chocolate transformed into a festive display of animations and colors. Two boxed egg packs called the ‘Ferrero Rocher Egg’ and the ‘Ferrero Collection (Milk) Egg’ will also be launched in addition to favorites like the ‘Kinder Joy,’ ‘Kinder Egg Hunt,’ and the ‘Kinder Figures.’
"We’re confident that consumers will still want to spend on special occasions such as Easter and will look towards trusted and well-known names when they do so. As a result, we’ve expanded our Easter range to provide more choice for shoppers. We’ve also refreshed our packaging to highlight our much-loved brands, ensuring they stand out on shelf and can help retailers create excitement in-store, both for existing and new customers," said Jason Sutherland, UK & Ireland Sales Director at Ferrero UK.
The Ferrero UK Easter collection launches in January 2023 at grocery and convenience stores.
