5. HAPPi
HAPPi has launched an eco-friendly, plastic-free advent calendar filled with oat-based chocolates for vegans and environmentally-conscious consumers. The calendar features 24 x 4g chocolate pieces lower in sugar than other chocolate brands, states the company.
HAPPi’s founder, Gavin Cox, said: “At HAPPi, we are passionate about supporting the environment. Our chocolate is sustainable and ethically sourced and slave and child labour free. It’s also vegan but still creamy and delicious.”
“Launching a 100% plastic-free advent calendar is just the next step for us in creating a range that really embodies HAPPi’s ethos for eco-friendly and sustainable products and appeals to the demands of today’s customers. We love offering customers quality, healthier, and fun free-from treats that we would be happy for our kids to enjoy, as well as ourselves! Our new advent calendar appeals to everyone – regardless of dietary choices,” added Cox.
