Mini snack-size variations of Milky Way Crispy Rolls have been spotted featured in tubs of Celebrations by eagle-eyed shoppers at B&M this weekend and fans are already going mad for it.
Now, this really is a cause for celebration.
It’s long been disputed which chocolatey treat is the best of the bunch in the Celebrations selection, with many Brits often electing the Maltesers Teasers to reign supreme, but one thing’s for sure, the addition of Milky Way Crispy Rolls is sure to be a worthy contender in this race.
Milky Way Crispy Rolls – milk chocolate-covered wafer biscuit fingers with a lightly whipped filling – have been spotted inside of large tubs of Celebrations at multiple B&M stores across the UK this weekend and have been shared to social media with positive response.
The sighting of these new Celebrations tubs was shared on popular food-spotting Instagram account @newfoodsuk on Saturday afternoon.

Since sharing this new-in product, the post has already gone on to amass well over 7,600 likes and hundreds of comments from people seeming very eager to seek them out for themselves.

One Instagram user commented: “The best news I’ve had all week”.
“The best addition” commented another.
These Celebrations tubs were also spotted and shared on Twitter by @morganbeckers with the caption: “Celebrations with milky way crispy rolls in B&M is beautiful” – which is hard to disagree with, right?
One thing’s for sure then, it sounds like there’s going to be a bit of a mad dash to B&M if you want to treat yourself and try to get your hands on a tub.
It unfortunately hasn’t been confirmed which B&M stores these Celebrations tubs have been spotted in, meaning that it’s probably going to be a case of keeping your fingers crossed that you can find them in your local branch.
Pricing of the product also wasn’t indicated, but we don’t reckon it’s likely to be a bank breaking purchase.
If you are planning on taking a trip to uncover these Celebrations across Greater Manchester, then it’s advised that you always check the opening times of your local B&M branch before heading to any store and you can do that via the store locator here.

Glitzy Spinningfields bar famed for its bottomless deals shuts down
Daisy Jackson
Popular cocktail bar group Banyan has suddenly closed its glitzy bar in the heart of Spinningfields.
The restaurant and bar, which is part of the Arc Inspirations group that also operates Manahatta and Box, has shut down with immediate effect.
A sign has been posted in the window of the Spinningfields site of Banyan confirming its closure.
Banyan opened in 2018 and was the second site for the brand, which has been operating out of the Corn Exchange since 2015.
Inside, the huge 7,000sq ft space was split into spaces for drinking, dining and dancing, including a large mezzanine and a huge white marble bar.
Banyan is famed for its bottomless deals, whether that’s a classic bottomless brunch or their bottomless Sunday roast (endless Yorkshire puddings, gravy, wine, and roast potatoes).
It also offered two-for-one cocktails, all day every day.
The bar stands on the side of Spinningfields, directly opposite The Ivy and alongside The Alchemist.

But now it has permanently closed its doors, thanking people for their custom over its almost-decade in Manchester.
The sign on the door says: “Banyan Spinningfields is now permanently closed.
“Thank you so much for your custom over the years, we’ve loved being part of this wonderful city and have made so many friends.
“Don’t be a stranger, we’d love to continue to welcome you to our Banyan bar in the Corn Exchange. Team Banyan.”
Council seized £4.3m worth of counterfeit goods from Manchester’s streets in 2025

A whopping £4.3 million of counterfeit goods were seized from Manchester’s streets in 2025, the Council has revealed.
Now that 2025 has come to end, Manchester City Council has announced that its Trading Standards Team seized and destroyed more than 43,500 counterfeit items in the last year – ranging from everything like fake handbags, trainers, and jewellery, to electronic items, sportswear, children’s toys, sunglasses, and much more.
Through ‘exemplary partnership work’ with Greater Manchester Police (GMP), the Council says this criminal industry has taken a ‘substantial hit’ over the past 12 months.
It’s also estimated that the goods seized would have lost the industry up to £43 million.
Councillor Lee-Ann Igbon, who is the Executive Member for Vibrant Neighbourhoods at Manchester City Council, said the Council hopes this action ‘sends a message that we will not tolerate this harmful trade.’

“The counterfeit industry was substantially embedded in our communities, but through their diligence and the support of our valued partners we have driven away some of the worst offenders and are beginning the process of regenerating the areas of Manchester that were long blighted by this sort of crime,” she added.
It’s not just counterfeit goods that’ve been targeted either, as a substantial push was also made throughout the year to crack-down on the sale and distribution of illicit tobacco.
In total, 316,625 cigarettes – which is equivalent to nearly 16,000 individual packs – were seized by the Council and police.
258kg of hand rolling tobacco was also seized, as well as more than 18,000 illegal vapes that don’t comply with UK laws or regulations.
Detective Chief Inspector Melanie Johnson, who is the lead coordinator of Operation Machinize for GMP, says the police takes any information it receives about counterfeit trading ‘very seriously’.
“We will continue to investigate all aspects of this criminality to protect our communities from the harms of illegal products.”
