Shoppers may find less in their festive treats this year. New data indicates that Christmas chocolate tubs have shrunk in size by as much as 14 per cent.

This reduction in volume comes despite a shift in the market. According to The Grocer, cocoa futures have fallen by 19 per cent since last year, yet these savings are not being passed on to the consumer through larger portions.
