B&M is selling a cracker full of Celebrations cake for just £2.49

FORGET disappointing prizes, unfunny jokes or collapsing party hats - budget retailer B&M has launched a new Christmas cracker full of Celebrations' cakes.

The £2.49 cracker contains 11 sweet treats, including all time favourites like cakes bars from Mars, Bounty, Milky Way and Galaxy as well as the Snickers flapjack.

Chocolate fans can get the Celebrations’ cracker in one of B&M's 560 stores across the UK.

The same fancy cracker is also selling at and T or 51p more than at B&M.

Still, it would cost you less to buy some of the treats separately.

For example, a pack of ten Galaxy cake bars from Asda costs £1.50.

Tesco and Sainbury's are also selling 240g Celebrations packs with eight different treats for £2.

So, unless you're tempted by the huge variety included in the Christmas cracker, it might be worth checking out what rivals have an offer before heading to the shop.

The Celebrations cracker isn’t the first Yuletide item coming from B&M that has excited shoppers.

In November, the bargain retailer also launched a cracker full of Pringles.

The £2.99 cracker contains four mini packs of crisps in the brand’s most popular favours.

Snack fans can munch on sour cream and onion, original, salt and vinegar, and Texas BBQ, over the festive holidays.
