Marketing director -chocolate, cake, seasonal at Pladis UK&I Jonathan Bull said: “This year’s seasonal snacking sales will be bigger than ever, and is set to exceed last year’s £161 million incremental opportunity. 2020 gave us a Christmas like no other, as seasonal celebrations were dampened by the pandemic, with only limited opportunities to reunite with wider circles of friends and family. 

“Because of this, we’re anticipating Christmas 2021 to be big, as consumers make up for the time missed due to last year’s restrictions. That’s why it’s more important than ever that retailers ensure they get their seasonal biscuits fixture right.”
