Quality Street® - Something we all share!

The popular Christmas treat has been the topic of debate on Twitter this week.

We're getting closer and closer to Christmas, which means various debates over festive traditions tend to rear their ugly heads.

Another named the orange chocolates as her top choice.

However Mandi seems to like them all...
