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.

Beloved Manchester artist Stanley Chow slams Conservative Party for using his artwork
Daisy Jackson
Celebrated local artist Stanley Chow has lashed out at the Conservative Party.
The illustrator, who is famed for his cartoon portraits of famous faces, has discovered that the political party have been using his Andy Burnham illustration at their party conference.
Publicly addressing the usage, Stanley said he would be ‘seeking legal advice’.
He shared a photo of his Andy Burnham portrait that has been placed onto a water bottle with the slogan ‘Bottler Burnham’.
The label also says: “0% strength. Bottled under pressure from Badenoch.”
In another photo, Stanley Chow revealed that the Tory party conference has used his Andy Burnham portrait on pots of sweets, too.
This time, they say: “Andy Panders’ people pleaser pick n mix. Free sweets for everyone, it will only cost you higher taxes.”
Stanley wrote: “It seems like @conservatives have been using my artwork without my permission at their conference party…
“Regardless of whatever your political allegiances are, it’s still copyright infringement… I’ll be seeking legal advice.”
Backing him up in the comments are a number of other local artists, including Mancsy, who said: “As well as the copyright infringement, I expect more of political parties than making gags at the expense of the opposition. It’s alarming on multiple levels.”
Someone else wrote: “Imagine calling a prime minister a people pleaser like it’s an insult… when it’s their job.”
Another person said: “How does that even happen?! Layers of people signing off who go, ‘Sure, let’s not worry about copyright’ (people who’ve presumably never step foot in MCR and seen your artwork, like EVERYWHERE). Drag em, babe. Copyright and reputation, surely.”
Manchester man jailed after sexually assaulting and masturbating in front of woman on train

A man has been jailed after sexually assaulting and masturbating in front of a woman on board a train to Manchester.
Following an extensive British Transport Police (BTP) investigation, Nisan Fernando Kurukulasuriya, of Troutbeck Road in Altrincham, was sentenced at Manchester Crown Court last month.
At the trail last month, the court heard how, on Monday 20 April 2026, 39-year-old Kurukulasuriya was on a train from Stoke to Manchester and sat next to a woman he didn’t know, who was on the phone.
He then sexually assaulted her repeatedly, doing so again even after being pushed away by the woman.
The woman then noticed that Kurukulasuriya had exposed himself and was masturbating in front of her. She shouted at him, and in response, he stood up and ran away to leave the train – but the woman immediately got up to report the incident to staff.
When the train arrived at Manchester Piccadilly, the woman alerted a member of staff while Kurukulasuriya was stood only a few meters away, and BTP were subsequently called straight away.
Police quickly attended and arrested Kurukulasuriya.
When police interviewed him, Kurukulasuriya showed no remorse for his actions and refused to answer any questions put to him.
After pleading guilty to Sexual Assault and Outraging Public Decency at a previous court hearing, Kurukulasuriya was sentenced to eight months’ imprisonment, and was also handed a 10-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO) which will bar him from sitting next to any woman he doesn’t know on public transport, as well as being put on thensex offenders register for 10 years.
BTP Detective Sergeant, Mark Haviland, called Kurukulasuriya a ‘despicable man’ who targeted a woman travelling alone ‘for his own sick sexual gratification’.
