Confectionery giant Cadbury is throwing its Roses stalwart into battle with Thorntons.

The brand is moving into the premium arena for Christmas with a new Luxury Collection set to retail for £4.99.

Also new in Cadbury’s Yuletide range will be a range of Flake-inspired bite-sized offerings in a box called Flake Moments.

Meanwhile, rival Nestlé is to headline its Christmas range with a new boxed chocolate offering called Swiss Chocolate Dreams.
