Quality Street Unveils Retailer-Exclusive Mystery Sweet as Pick-and-Mix Returns

Nestlé pairs the festive rollout with the return of paper tubs in selected Tesco stores.

Overview

  • A limited-edition mystery sweet will be sold exclusively through John Lewis and Waitrose pick-and-mix stations, with the flavour kept under wraps until December.
  • An Instagram post claims the mystery flavour in special pouches is pineapple, but Nestlé has not confirmed this and it is unclear if it matches the pick-and-mix sweet.
  • Coffee Creme returns as a standalone gift box in John Lewis and Waitrose, and it features in the Oxford Street pick-and-mix selection.
  • John Lewis is reopening pick-and-mix counters across listed stores, adding personalised ribbons and vintage-style baubles to customise tins, with the Oxford Street flagship open now and others following in October.
  • Nestlé confirms paper tubs will be available again in selected Tesco stores for Christmas 2025 as part of its packaging shift.
