Mars Wrigley have announced that the special tubs will be available at select Tesco stores around the UK in the run-up to Christmas. 

Revelers who do not care for the smooth coconut and chocolate treats will be able to swap normal tubs of Celebrations purchased in stores with Bounty-free ones for free, from November 8.

Shoppers will be able to get their hands on the specials boxes at special Christmas Market pop-up in select Tescos around the country. 

The Bounty-free boxes can be secured for a limited period of time by swapping it with a normal tub of Celebration  

For these limited-edition tubs, additional Mars, Snickers, Milky Way, Galaxy and the all-time favourite – Maltesers, will be added to the tubs in place of the banned Bounty bars. 

This roll out is being trialled across 40 Tesco’s Christmas Markets around the country.

Tesco’s Christmas Market is a pop up roadshow, which will start in Manchester on Tuesday 8th and will make its way down suit, closing on 18h  December at Gallions Reach Extra in London. 

Shoppers who cannot make it to these location can also enter a competition on Tesco’s website to win a Bounty-free tub of celebrations.  

This comes as Mars Wrigley debuted the ‘Bounty Return Scheme’ in 2021, where shoppers could return their unwanted chocolates and swap them for Maltesers after the festive period was over.  

Emily Owen, Mars Wrigley’s Head of Celebrations Festive Cheer said: ‘Christmas is the time for giving – but it seems this year, the British public are keen for us to take away…Bounty. 

Last year, we gave customers the opportunity to return their unwanted Bounty chocolates. Now, off the back of public demand, we’re trialling taking them out of the tub altogether. 

You don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone! And to those loyal (and secret) Bounty lovers out there, there’s still a chance they’ll make a return after the trial.’
