It’s Christmas Eve and here at my mother’s house that means we are preparing things in anticipation of our big Christmas Eve dinner. I’ve temporarily cleared a place at the dinner table to write today’s post before everyone arrives, and the smell of home-baked bread is delightfully filling the air.
For today’s post, I’m going to share a set of Christmas-themed Dairy Milk wrappers from my collection that were released by Cadbury’s New Zealand branch in the 1990’s. They feature fun Christmastown scenes like Rudi Reindeer and a Skating Santa.
Here they are:
New Zealand – Cadbury – Santa’s Workshop Dairy Milk – Busy Elves – chocolate bar wrapper – 1990’s
New Zealand – Cadbury – Santa’s Workshop Dairy Milk – Festive Elf – chocolate bar wrapper – 1990’s
New Zealand – Cadbury – Santa’s Workshop Dairy Milk – Rudi Reindeer – chocolate bar wrapper – 1990’s
New Zealand – Cadbury – Santa’s Workshop Dairy Milk – Santa’s Workshop – chocolate bar wrapper – 1990’s
New Zealand – Cadbury – Santa’s Workshop Dairy Milk – Skating Santa – chocolate bar wrapper – 1990’s
New Zealand – Cadbury – Santa’s Workshop Dairy Milk – Snowy Snowman – chocolate bar wrapper – 1990’s
That’s the whole set of six wrappers!
I’ve got to run as family is about to arrive and I need to clear my laptop from the dinner table.
So from to all of my visitors who celebrate the holiday: Merry Christmas from CollectingCandy.com!!
See you next time!

Afew years back ‘Cadbury’ put up a wrapper on their family blocks with Christmas stories on them. One in particular was about the angel and drummer boy and their placement on the Christmas tree. I have been searching the web ever since and can’t locate this story. Would you know of it? Clutching at straws here! Thanks and have a great day.

Muriel,
It doesn’t ring any bells, but I have a LOT of Cadbury Christmas wrappers from over the years. Do you know around what year you saw this wrapper?
Thankyou for the quick reply. I live in Australia and it was 2009 or 2010 I thonk.
