A roast turkey with all the trimmings, mulled wine, Scrabble, Home Alone and Ella Fitzgerald’s festive album might be synonymous with Christmas – but, fighting for the last purple one in a Quality Street tub is a tradition.

There’s no doubt that these colourful tubs have become as much a part of the festive season as mince pies, Christmas pudding and crackers – a British cultural moment that’s passed around living rooms up and down the country.
