Cadbury and Merlin Ents bring magical experiences with on-pack tickets

Cadbury is joining forces with Merlin Entertainments once again for the return of this family-favourite summer promotion. Launching in May and available for six months, the on-pack promotion will offer a free standard ticket with every purchase of a full-priced adult ticket to a host of the UK’s top attractions including Alton Towers Resort, Chessington World of Adventures Resort, Thorpe Park Resort and the LEGOLAND® Windsor Resort.

This cross-category promotion will run across selected products from Cadbury’s Chocolate and Biscuits ranges for the full six months, and Cadbury’s Seasonal range will join the promotional line-up when in-market. The offer will appear across more than 68 million packs of 21 different SKUs.


“Merlin’s family attractions are visited by millions of people each year, existing to create magical experiences for their guests," said Sophia Geddes, Brand Manager for Cadbury at Mondelēz International.

“This promotion gives consumers ‘something more’ on brands they know and love, by rewarding them with a 2-for-1 instant voucher to book online to be able to visit top UK attractions – with an incredible potential saving of up to £53. We recommend retailers give the promotional range strong off-shelf feature to ensure maximum visibility and help to drive their sales of these ranges.”

The on-pack promotion will be supported with a high-impact campaign between July and August across social and digital advertising as well as plenty of in-store marketing to make the partnership unmissable.

Full information and T&Cs will be available to consumers on www.funcountdown.com/cadbury

Gnaw ‘new-stalgia’: pud-themed Chocolate Spoons and flavoured choc bars

Tapping into “new-stalgia” (an anticipated hot food trend in 2025), Gnaw has been working tirelessly to rethink Great British puddings by creating a number of “Hug in a Mug” classics (Crème Brulée, Bakewell Tart, Sticky Toffee Pud) in conjunction with an impressive “pudfolio” of dessert-flavoured bars: New York Cheesecake, Christmas Pudding, Banoffee Pie and Sticky Toffee Pudding.

Desserts may prove divisive. For many the last course will always be a fitting finale to a great meal spent with friends of family, enticing comfort food that offers a nostalgic peek into happy custard drenched, ice cream topped memories from yesteryear. For others, desserts are an unwitting dalliance with guilt-filled soft sponges, buttery pastry, seductively sweet fillings, crumbly toppings, sticky sauces …
