Christmas morning in Britain had an order of play. Stocking first, presents second, and the Cadbury Stocking Selection Box opened well before anyone mentioned breakfast.
It is a flat little box of Cadbury chocolate made to sit at the top of a stocking, the shape every British child could identify by feel through the wool, long before Christmas Day.
By ten o'clock it is empty. By eleven, nobody can explain where it went.
It is the UK selection box, the one from home, and it ships from within Canada, so the stocking can look the way you remember it.
Frequently asked questions about Cadbury Stocking Selection Box
Q: Will it actually fit in a stocking?
A: That is the whole idea. It is the slim stocking version of the selection box, so it goes in the top without stretching anything out of shape.
Q: Is it a good Christmas gift for someone who misses home?
A: It is about the most British thing you can post to someone in December. Expect a photo of it, then a photo of the empty box.
Q: How does it arrive?
A: Packed so the box turns up flat and unbent, because a crumpled selection box is a small Christmas tragedy.
More about Cadbury Stocking Selection Box
The selection box is a fixture of a British Christmas. Newsagents and supermarkets stack them high from autumn, and plenty of children in the UK get at least one, usually from a grandparent, usually opened before it is officially allowed.
People in Canada go looking for this one because a stocking does not feel finished without it. If you grew up with a Cadbury box on Christmas morning, you want your own lot to have the same. Or you want it for yourself, which is entirely reasonable.
It is the stocking size: small and flat, so it slides in beside the satsuma and the novelty socks without a fight. Keep it somewhere cool and dry, away from radiators, and well away from anyone who knows where you hide things.
It sits happily alongside the rest of a British Christmas cupboard: a tin of chocolates for passing round after dinner, a Christmas pudding, a box of mince pies for Boxing Day. Cadbury people tend to pick up a bar or two of Dairy Milk while they are at it.
