Cadbury has begun releasing Easter eggs in stores across the UK, despite being just days away from Christmas.

The confectionery company is responsible for a range of popular chocolates including Freddos, Boost, Crunchie, Creme Eggs and the classic Dairy Milk.

Cadbury also produces Roses and Heroes tubs, which are among the big four festive favourites along with Celebrations and Quality Street.

But despite still being part way through the festive season, shoppers have already begun spotting Cadbury Easter eggs in B&M stores across the country.

Shoppers have already spotted two of Cadbury's popular Easter treats in B&M stores - White Creme Eggs and bags of Mini Eggs.

Some people have complained, saying it is "far too early" to be selling Easter eggs.

Commenting on a Facebook post from Newfoodsuk about Cadbury's White Creme Eggs, one shopper said: "Too early for Easter eggs give us are break for God sake we’ve not yet got Christmas out the road and new year yet and you showing us Easter eggs come on Cadbury's this is ridiculous

"Stop advertising. Easteregg we don’t care and we don’t want to know."

Another person added: "Late for last Easter or early for next?"

While a third Facebook user, commenting about the sighting of the Mini Eggs, added: "JEEZ let us have Christmas."
