Quality Street Christmas Tubs Cut to 550g for 2025 With About Six Fewer Sweets

Nestlé says costs shaped the new range, leaving final prices to supermarkets.

Overview

  • Nestlé’s 2025 Quality Street tubs drop from 600g to 550g, continuing the brand’s multi‑year downsizing.
  • Estimated contents fall from about 63 chocolates to roughly 57, with servings moving from 21 to 19 based on retailer guidance, though counts can vary by piece weight.
  • Major supermarkets are still listing the smaller tubs at around £5 to £6, raising value concerns among shoppers.
  • Nestlé says formats, weights and recommended prices reflect manufacturing, ingredient and transport costs as well as customer preferences, and that retailers set the shelf price.
  • Consumer advocates decry the change as shrinkflation, while promotions continue, including a Morrisons offer of two tubs for £9 that runs until August 31.
