Nestlé Dairy Box Christmas Collection - 385g

Dairy Box has been part of the British Christmas furniture for generations, sitting alongside the tins and the selection boxes. It is the box you bring to your nan's, or the one she already has open when you walk in.

People in Canada go looking for it because a UK Christmas has particular things in it, and this is one of them. The box looks the way it did on the sideboard back home, and the chocolates taste the way you remember.

It is a proper sharing box, enough to go round a full sofa twice if nobody gets greedy. Keep it somewhere cool and dry, well away from the radiator and the tree lights, and it will wait patiently until Boxing Day. It wraps neatly too, which makes it an easy Christmas gift for someone who misses home.

Nestlé makes plenty of other British favourites, and Dairy Box tends to end up in the basket with a selection box or two for the stockings and something in a tin for after dinner.
