Nestlé’s Quality Street teams up with John Lewis for festive pick and mix

Nestlé has teamed up with John Lewis stores in the UK for a special festive treat for shoppers in offering shoppers the chance to choose their own Quality Street tins from classic pick and mix stations, reports Neill Barston.

As a new addition to the flagship brand, an exclusive sweet, the Honeycomb Crunch flavoured truffle is being released as part of its initiative with the upscale British retailer.

According to the business, people can create their own unique collection of favourites from the 12 tasty sweets in this year’s pick and mix assortment, whether that’s a tin full of purple ones or a carefully curated selection of family favourites for gifting.

It is also the time of year when people can get their hands on a personalised tin with a new exclusive design, which has been specially produced for John Lewis, where customers can also bring their old store branded Quality Street tins and refill them for £10. The initiative is now live at the company’s Oxford Street store.

It will follow on with its other sites at: Bluewater, Cribbs Causeway, High Wycombe, Oxford Street, Cheadle, Kingston, Liverpool, Southampton, Milton Keynes, Trafford, Edinburgh, Leeds, Nottingham, Peter Jones Sloane Square, Glasgow, Cardiff, Cambridge, and Newcastle.

The Quality Street John Lewis tin weighs 1.2kg and prices are as follows: Pick and mix without personalisation – £14, Pick and mix with personalised tin lid – £17, Refills (former John Lewis exclusive tins only) – £10, Pre-filled exclusive John Lewis tin without personalisation – £12
Cracker – £5.

Nestlé’s Quality Street Senior Brand Manager, Jemma Handley, said the company is delighted to announce the return of our beloved pick and mix stations at John Lewis for 2022.

She said: “Best of all, you can tailor the contents precisely to your liking, whether that means nothing but purple ones, a tin full of the new honeycomb crunches, or a feast of fruit crèmes. We love that shoppers can also personalise their tins, making them an exceptional gift for the festive season.”

Lisa Cherry, Lead Christmas Buyer at John Lewis, added: “We are thrilled to have our Quality Street personalisation stations returning to 18 stores this year. We know our customers celebrate a range of moments across the festive period.

“A personalised tin is a great addition to a family movie night in and can be pulled out year after year. For those looking to save, they can bring back an old personalised tin, and we can refill it with their favourites for less.”
