Swizzels has unveiled new-for-2023 Gift Drums to drive sales during the festive period.

The Gift Drums are available now in two varieties, one containing Love Hearts and the other containing Drumstick Mini Chew Bars, each at an RRP of £2.99.

They join the supplier’s existing Christmas lines, including the Swizzels Advent Calendar, the Sweet Shop Favourites Tub (which sees a 105% uplift at Christmas) and the Sweet Shop Favourites Tub.

Swizzels saw a 47% sales increase during last year’s Christmas period according to IRI, which the supplier says made it the top sugar confectionery manufacturer for gifting lines in symbols and independents.
