If you’ve been in Marks & Spencer recently, you’ll not only have spotted a load of exciting Halloween food launches, but there are also a few Christmas bits and pieces showing up too. It’s all too exciting!

The M&S Christmas product that’s got us feeling all festive today (despite the sudden heatwave in the UK…) is this Colin The Caterpillar Chocolate Advent Calendar.

We heard about the ridiculously adorable advent calendar when @_well_this_is_new_ shared photos of him on Instagram.

What to read next

According to the packaging, the advent calendar is stuffed full of 24 mini chocolate Colin faces with a giant chocolate Colin face for Christmas Day.

So, how does this bad boy work? Because it looks nothing like the traditional advent calendars we’re used to seeing where you open windows each day to find a chocolate treat. Well, apparently you simply fold his legs out each day until he’s fully formed. I mean… how damn cute is that?!

You can pick up a Colin The Caterpillar Chocolate Advent Calendar for £10 now. Just try not to unfold all the legs and eat all the chocolate before 1 December if you end up buying one now…

As well as this festive Colin launch, we’ll be expecting a Christmas version of the Colin cake too. No sign of him yet, but we’re guessing he’ll turn up on M&S shelves soon.
