Christmas morning in Britain has a running order. Stockings, then the selection box, then chocolate for breakfast while nobody is looking. The Galaxy Selection Box is that box.
It is a flat cardboard box of Galaxy bars, the smooth milk chocolate that half of Britain will tell you is the good one. You open it before the presents are finished. Most of it is gone by the King's speech.
Nobody has ever saved a selection box for later. People have claimed to.
If Christmas in Canada has felt one box short, here it is.
Frequently asked questions about Galaxy Selection Box
Q: Is this the UK Galaxy selection box?
A: Yes, the British one, the same box you would find on a UK supermarket shelf in December. It ships from within Canada, so it does not have to cross an ocean to reach you.
Q: How big is it?
A: It is 234g, in a flat box that fits a stocking nicely. Big enough to feel like a proper present, small enough that finishing it before lunch is technically possible.
Q: Is it a good gift for someone who misses home?
A: It is about as British a Christmas present as you can post. Anyone who grew up with a selection box under the tree will know exactly what it is before the wrapping is off.
More about Galaxy Selection Box
In Britain the selection box is a Christmas fixture, as reliable as the cracker joke nobody laughs at. Every child gets one, usually several, from relatives who did not check with each other. Galaxy's is the one the grown-ups quietly keep for themselves.
People in Canada search for a UK selection box because Christmas morning does not feel finished without one. Galaxy is the milk chocolate a lot of British expats name first when you ask what they miss, so this box tends to be the one they go looking for.
The box is flat enough to slide into a stocking or a parcel, and it sits happily in a cool cupboard until it is needed. It rarely has to wait long. Some people ration it through to Boxing Day. Most people do not.
It sits well alongside the rest of British Christmas food: a tin of chocolates to pass round after dinner, a plate of mince pies, a pudding with something on fire. If you are sending a Christmas gift to someone who misses home, this is the easy bit sorted.
