Tony’s Chocolonely Makes Christmas Sweet Without the Bitter Aftertaste

This year's lineup features the return of their edible tree-shaped ornaments, available in Milk Chocolate Gingerbread and vegan Dark Chocolate Candy Cane flavours. These treats are designed to be hung on or placed under the Christmas tree, adding a delicious and ethical touch to holiday traditions.

Also making a comeback is Tony's giant, book-shaped Countdown Calendar, containing 25 Tiny Tony’s in 10 different flavours. Each chocolate is crafted from 100% traceable cocoa beans, sourced through Tony's 5 Sourcing Principles. These principles include maintaining long-term partnerships with cocoa cooperatives, paying a higher price to ensure a living income for farmers, and investing in sustainable practices to enhance productivity and quality.

In a thought-provoking twist, the Countdown Calendar is deliberately unequally divided, mirroring the disparities present in the cocoa industry. This design choice serves as a conversation starter about the ongoing challenges faced by cocoa farming communities.

Matthew Webb, Tony’s Chocolonely’s Chief of Markets, stated, "Our holiday collection demonstrates that premium chocolate can be both delicious and ethical. By maintaining 100% cocoa bean traceability and fostering long-term cooperative partnerships, we're setting new industry standards for fair trade practices."

The Christmas tree ornaments and Countdown Calendar are available through major retailers and specialty food stores nationwide. The Milk Chocolate Gingerbread and Dark Chocolate Candy Cane Bars are priced at $9.95, while the Countdown Calendar is available for $42.95.

Tony's Chocolonely continues to lead by example, proving that festive indulgence can go hand in hand with a commitment to ethical sourcing and fair trade practices.
