Fans of pub snacks shouldn't feel left out with this gourmet pork crackling calendar. A3 sized, behind each of the windows you'll find a little bag (with 6 different flavours) of these popular savoury snacks.
The healthier option for gym heads, this calendar comes with six flavours - including two vegan options - of bite sized protein balls.
Featuring 24 individually wrapped cheeses, the calendar has a unique ‘book style’ packaging design, allowing one half to be torn off after the initial 12 days of Christmas to maximise fridge space (the designers were pretty thoughtful).
With seven styles, including a limited edition surprise cheese – the calendar offers Jarlsberg, Applewood, Ilchester Mature Cheddar, Ilchester Edam and limited edition Ilchester Wensleydale with gingerbread.
