Nobody ever admits to biting the antlers off first. Everybody does. The Maltesers Gingerbread Reindeer is the little chocolate reindeer that British stockings have come to expect, this time with gingerbread in the name and in the flavour.
It is small enough to vanish before the wrapping paper has been cleared off the floor. That is rather the point.
One for the stocking, one hung on the tree, and one quietly claimed by whoever volunteered to do the washing up.
If your Christmas in Canada needs a bit of a UK Christmas morning in it, this is the easy way in.
Frequently asked questions about Maltesers Gingerbread Reindeer
Q: Is this the UK version?
A: It is, the British Maltesers Gingerbread Reindeer, and it ships from within Canada. Same reindeer you would find in a stocking back home.
Q: How big is it?
A: It is 29g, a pocket-sized reindeer. Big enough to count as a present, small enough that nobody feels guilty before lunch.
Q: Is it good to send as a gift?
A: Very. It is a cheerful little Christmas gift for someone who misses home, and it slips easily into a parcel with a card and a few other British bits.
More about Maltesers Gingerbread Reindeer
In Britain the Maltesers reindeer has settled into the same December routine as the selection box and the chocolate coins. It appears on the shelves, it goes in the trolley, and it ends up at the toe of a stocking. Nobody questions it. It has simply become part of the furniture.
Here, people go looking for it because of that exact moment: Christmas morning, still in pyjamas, unwrapping a reindeer before breakfast. If you grew up with it, a British Christmas feels a reindeer short without one. If you have children growing up in Canada, it is a small way of handing the habit on.
It is a single wrapped reindeer, 29g, which makes it a proper stocking filler rather than a centrepiece. Keep it somewhere cool and dry, well away from the radiator and the fairy lights. People tuck them into stockings, prop them by each plate at Christmas dinner, or hide them in the tree for the youngest to find.
It sits happily alongside the rest of the Maltesers family: the classic bag for the sofa, the Teasers bar and the Buttons. Throw in a selection box and a tin for Boxing Day and the cupboard is sorted.
