CHOCOLATE lovers have been left devastated by the news Cadbury has discontinued their favourite treat, in a move they say is “just not the Christmas vibe”.
A confused Brit hoping to stock up on Cadbury‘s Wispa Hot Chocolate for the holiday season took to X, formerly Twitter, after struggling to find the product at multiple stores.

Marie Baker of Leicester wrote on the platform: “@CadburyUK why can’t I find wispa hot chocolate anywhere???”
The confectionery giant responded: “The Wispa Gold Hot Chocolate has been discontinued, however we still have lots of other chocolatey treats to try.”
The drink is immensely popular in British homes, particularly around the Christmas time, with a rating of 4.5 stars out of five on Amazon.
One UK resident, who goes by Rosebud, wrote in a review of the product: “This is the only instant hot chocolate we drink. Perfectly frothy, with a delicious chocolate taste.”
Another, Natasha Harris, wrote on X, formerly Twitter, before Cadbury confirmed the hot chocolate’s discontinuation: “@CadburyWorld @CadburyUK @CadburyWorld where is all the wispa hot chocolate at!? I dont like any other.
“£7.99 on @AmazonUK its just not the christmas vibe.”
Hot chocolate connoisseurs have previously come out in droves to sing their praises about the Wispa hot chocolate.
One X user posted just last month: “Expensive hot chocolate is weird. Cheap hot chocolate is nasty. Mid range kid’s ones are best.
“Aero and Wispa hot chocolate with ‘built in’ bubbles are fab. With silly squirty cream on top. None of your fancy dan nonsense.”
Another UK resident wrote in a review on Amazon: “What can I add it’s my lads favourite hot chocolate.”
It comes after Cadbury discontinued the “best chocolate bar they have created in years”, the Peanut Caramel Crisp Bars.
A devastated customer named Amy said in response: “Aw no! That sucks, it’s our favourite.”
Earlier, Cadbury quietly scrapped its hugely popular Dairy Milk 30% Less Sugar bar.
One choc fan said at the time: “I’m devastated they’ve pulled this option from shelves, it just seems like another decision to cut costs at the expense of quality or diverse choices.
“That’s my evening routine ruined!”
