Christmas morning, half six, and someone small has already opened their selection box. Nobody has had breakfast. Nobody is going to.
The Nestlé Kids Selection Box is the one that turned up under a lot of British trees: a flat box of Nestlé chocolate bars, each in its own little spot, laid out like a tiny sweet shop. You eat your favourite first. By lunchtime you regret it.
It is the UK box, shipped from within Canada, so a British Christmas in Canada still starts the proper way. Put it in a stocking and let the swapping begin.
Frequently asked questions about Nestlé Kids Selection Box
Q: How big is it?
A: It is the 116g kids' box, so a proper selection box for a child rather than a giant one. Big enough to feel like an event, small enough to fit in a stocking.
Q: Is it a good Christmas gift for a child who has never been to Britain?
A: It is about the best introduction there is. A British Christmas starts with a selection box opened before breakfast, and it is a nice way to pass that on.
Q: How does it arrive?
A: We pack it in our shop in Halifax so the box gets there flat and in one piece, which matters when the unwrapping is half the fun.
More about Nestlé Kids Selection Box
In Britain the selection box is part of Christmas itself. One per child is the rule, usually from a grandparent, and somehow by Boxing Day there are three of them on the sideboard.
If you grew up with that, Christmas morning feels a bit unfinished without one. Plenty of parents raising children in Canada want the same small ritual for their own kids: the box opened before breakfast, the bars lined up on the carpet, the careful trading with a brother or sister.
This is the kids' box at 116g, which is about right for small hands and still leaves room for Christmas dinner. It is flat and light, slides neatly into a stocking, and keeps happily in a cool, dry cupboard (well away from the radiator) until the big morning.
People rarely buy just one. It tends to go in the basket alongside a tin for the grown-ups and a few more stocking fillers from home, so everyone in the house gets a taste of a UK Christmas, not just the youngest.
