Nestle Aero Festive Orange Bar - 90g

Aero is one of those bars every British corner shop keeps by the till, and the orange one turns up when the shelves go over to Christmas. Britain takes chocolate orange seriously in December. This is where that habit and the bubbles meet.

If you are searching for it from Canada, you probably remember it from a British Christmas: the bar that came out once the presents were open and the telly went on. Christmas in Canada has its own good things. A taste of home on the side never hurts.

It is a flat 90g bar, which makes it easy to slip into a stocking or tuck in a parcel to someone who misses home. Keep it somewhere cool and well away from the fire, because the bubbles do not enjoy the heat. Snap it into squares and pass it round, or do not. We will not tell.

People tend to buy it alongside the rest of a UK Christmas: a selection box for the morning, tree chocolates, and a box of proper tea for after dinner, when somebody finds the last of this bar down the side of the sofa.
