Cadbury’s Secret Santa Postal Service is heading to a town in Lancashire, giving chocolate-lovers the chance to secretly send a free chocolate bar to a loved one.

The Cadbury Secret Santa Service is bringing back its Christmas ritual and fans will be able to visit a Cadbury Postal Service and send that special someone a delicious bar of the nation’s favourite chocolate, in secret and for free.

 To send a free chocolate bar, you simply have to visit the Secret Santa Postal Service that will be popping up in Blackpool.

On the day, Secret Santas can choose from a scrumptious selection of Cadbury chocolate bars including classic Cadbury Dairy Milk and a host of Cadbury Dairy Milk flavours including Winter Orange, Winter Wonderland, Oreo, Caramel, Wholenut and Fruit & Nut.

Whether it’s for a family member, friend, your favourite colleague or a loved one, no one needs to be on your ‘naughty list’ as the Postal Service will deliver anywhere in the UK. 

There is no need to book and people are being invited to turn up, pick a chocolate bar, put it in an envelope with the recipient’s address and then post it.

Not only will you be spreading joy to the chocolate receiver of choice, you will also be taking part in a good cause.

Emma Paxton, Senior Brand Manager for Cadbury Christmas said: “We can’t wait for Cadbury Secret Santa to be a physical pop-up once again – bringing it back into the real world feels truly festive!

“With our glass and a half spirit, we’re particularly proud to be renewing our partnership with The Trussell Trust to help them with their important mission to fight poverty.

“We’re looking forward to fans embracing their generous spirit again this year and sending a delicious secret something to someone special.”  

To help make Christmas special for everyone this year, Cadbury has once again partnered with the Trussell Trust, a charity that fights hunger and works to end the need for food banks in the UK.

That’s why for every Cadbury Secret Santa sent, Cadbury will also donate one bar on your behalf to someone who needs to use a food bank in the Trussell Trust network.

Emma Revie, Trussell Trust CEO said: “This December, food banks across our network face giving out over 7,000 emergency food parcels a day to families and individuals who are living in crisis. Christmas is supposed to be a season of joy and celebration – but for too many people it can also be a particularly tough time of year as they struggle to cover the basic costs of living such as heating, bills, food and other essentials. 

“This is why the support of partners like Cadbury is so important as we work together to end the need for food banks in the UK. By becoming a Cadbury Secret Santa, you will be helping to make the festive season that little bit more special for people who find themselves needing a food bank at this time of year.”
