The chocolate box has made its way back onto Australia shores after months of overwhelming demand from customers.
‘The consumer response demanding the return of Celebrations last year was incredible, so we are thrilled to bring Celebrations back to supermarket shelves around the country,’Ben Hill, MarsWrigley Marketing Director, said.
‘For decades, Celebrations has featured prominently at family gatherings, events and of course, celebrations of all kinds.We can’t wait for everyone to enjoy them again and for hopefully many years to come.’
The chocolates will roll out to major retailers from mid-July for $16.
Food content creator Russell Stuart, known as Russ Eats on social media, also shared the ‘surprising’ news about the return of Celebrations.

‘I’m going to break the good news, Celebrations are returning,’ he said.
After taste testing the new chocolate box, Russ confirmed ‘they taste the same’ as the original.
His video has been viewed more than 75,000 times – with many saying they were excited about the news.
‘I work at Coles and I can’t wait to see these on the shelves. I might even buy a box to share with everyone on Christmas day,’ one said.
‘Perfect,’ another revealed.
‘I offer myself as tribute to anyone who needs a recipient for unwanted Bounty bars. God tier chocolate that gets way too much hate,’ one suggested.
Back in November, the chocolates were removed from shelves due to rising costs.
‘Our CELEBRATIONS products were imported from Europe,’ a Mars-Wrigley spokesperson told FEMAIL at the time.
‘And like many Australian businesses importing products from overseas, we are experiencing rising cost-pressures and supply challenges.’
