Their new Christmas Collection has gifts perfect for every chocolate lover on your list, making holiday shopping a little more delightful.
“At Purdys, we fall in love with the magic of the holiday season every year,” says Julia Cho, Director of Marketing. “We believe in the power of chocolate to bring people together in cherished family traditions, and this year’s collection truly has something for everyone.”
Holiday Favorites and New Traditions
This season, Purdys continues the holiday tradition of advent calendars, offering three varieties:
- Holiday Reindeer Advent Calendar – A countdown to Christmas with delicious milk and salted butter toffee bites.
- Vegan Chocolate Advent Calendar – Featuring dark and “mylk” vegan chocolates for 24 days of vegan treats.
- Braille Advent Calendar – A special advent calendar with Braille numbering, each day revealing a scrumptious surprise.
The advent calendars begin December 1, making it easy to start a new tradition by counting down to Christmas with daily sweet treats.
Giving Back with the Dear Santa Bar
Through its Purple Partnerships program, Purdys Chocolatier supports charities across Canada. Their popular Dear Santa Bar, returning for the sixth year, donates $2 from every bar sold to children’s hospital foundations. This creamy milk chocolate bar with salted butter toffee adds a touch of kindness to holiday gifting, inspired by the hope of bringing Santa’s magic to children in hospitals.
