EVERY YEAR, WHEN we’re selecting tins of sweets to buy for Christmas, we are reminded of one of the great mysteries of our time:
Yes, the decision to remove the Galaxy Truffle from the Celebrations. In 2011, Mars sneakily switched them for Twix, thus changing the festive sweet landscape as we knew it forever more.
Where are you now, Galaxy Truffle? Do you miss us like we miss you?
Twixes are nice, but you can get them in any shop you like

They’re ten a penny (kind of). We don’t need them as a special Christmas treat!
But the Truffle was different. You had to wait all year to get a taste, and you savoured every one
They were creamy and delicious, a touch of luxury… Until they were snatched away from us. Because apparently we can’t have nice things.
It’s been five years and still the campaign to get them back rumbles on
There are dozens of pages dedicated to getting Galaxy Truffles back in the Celebrations tin – like this one:
And this slightly more polite one:
Not to mention the many, many tweets remembering the sweet every year. We can’t let the Truffle go.
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
The even bigger mystery is that they chose to leave the Bounty in
Look at the state of that! THEY’RE NOT WANTED.
It’s even made it painful to watch the Gavin & Stacey Christmas special
Remember Bryn’s excitement upon receiving a single Galaxy Truffle as a Christmas present from Nessa? We’ll never get to feel that feeling again.
So Mars, we’re begging you
Bring back the Galaxy Truffle for next year. After the beating 2016 has given us, we all deserve it.
