Cadbury has taken its cult-classic chocolate cake snack to the next level by launching two new variations inspired by popular ice cream flavours.
And the best bit? You can even pop them in the freezer to create little Arctic rolls.
Cadbury Mini Rolls – the small Swiss roll-inspired chocolate cake treat, encased in a layer of milk chocolate – have been a staple of snack time and kids’ lunch boxes for many years now. Freezing Mini Rolls isn’t necessarily a new invention at this point either, with the phrase “try me frozen” having been stuck on the front of packets of the British chocolate brand’s beloved cake for quite a while.
But it’s the release of two new ice cream flavours that seems to have got people talking.
Eagle-eyed shoppers over at the popular food spotting Instagram page @NewFoodsUK shared news of the release of the new flavours with their 240K followers yesterday, and the post has already racked up thousands of likes and nearly 200 comments.

The two new Mini Roll variations included a layer of cream filling inspired by mint choc chip ice cream, and the tricoloured Italian gem, Neapolitan, which combines the three classic flavours vanilla, chocolate and strawberry all in one.
Cadbury also recommends popping the new ice cream-flavoured Mini Rolls into the freezer for a couple of hours to create a treat that’s reminiscent of the retro school dinner dessert, Arctic roll.

The new Mini Rolls come in packs of five individually-wrapped cakes, and according to NewFoodsUK, are currently on the shelves at the Co-op.
Each pack will only set you back £1.
If you are planning on heading to your nearest Co-op Food branch to get your hands on this sweet treat, then you can check opening times via the Store Finder here.

Data reveals Manchester hotel prices have ALREADY surged by 462% on rumoured Oasis tour dates

Manchester hotel prices have apparently already surged by 462% on rumoured Oasis tour dates, some new data has revealed.
Of course, absolutely nothing is set in stone yet and we are still yet to receive any form of announcement.
But with rumours having been swirling for months now that Oasis will be touring again in 2027, and several videos shared on the band’s social media platforms this week also hinting at that, it’s been revealed that searches for ‘when are Oasis tickets going on sale?’ have soared by 5,000% in the last seven days alone.
After recent data has pointed towards soaring searches for tickets, the experts at SeatPick decided to analyse the average cost of accommodation in Manchester on the suspected concert nights in June 2027 to uncover if prices have surged along with the searches.

And lo and behold, it appears that they have.
The ticketing platform has revealed that hotel prices have surged by up to 462% during Oasis’ rumoured concert nights in Manchester.
The rumoured weekend date of 19 and 20 June has experienced the most noticeable price surge – with a two-star hotel costing an average of £216 for just one overnight stay.
The data also reveals that the rumoured finale on the 27 June has just a £95 difference between two-star hotels (£200) and five-star hotels (£295).
“Our analysis uncovered an enormous markup for local accommodation on nights that Oasis is rumoured to perform in Manchester,” explained Gilad Zilberman, who is the CEO at ticket platform SeatPick.
“Being aware of these accommodation costs and additional expenses can help fans plan and avoid being caught off guard by inflated prices on concert nights.
“To find the best deals on hotels, concertgoers should scan budget chains in the city or look slightly outside of the centre in hotspots served by local bus routes or regional trains, such as Salford and Trafford.
“Booking early might also be beneficial for fans dedicated to seeing the band perform.
“You can opt for free cancellation options, in case rumoured dates change, or you’re no longer able to attend.”

Aldi confirms ‘special’ 62-hour closure of all its 1,000+ stores across UK

Aldi has announced that it’ll, once again, be closing the doors of all of its stores across the UK for 62 hours this year.
Christmas is always known to be one of the busiest periods of the year for the retail industry, and Boxing Day has a reputation for being the ultimate day for shopping deals and discounts in the UK – but this year, just like it has done on several years in the past, Aldi has made the decision to close all of its stores nationwide on this bank holiday.
The supermarket retailer says it wants to thank its colleagues ‘for all their hard work’ throughout the year by giving them some extra time to spend with their families.
This means that all Aldi stores will be closed on both 25 and 26 December.
That’s not all though, as stores will also be closed on New Year’s Day, and will reopen once again on Saturday 2 January 2027.

Opening hours at different Aldi stores across the UK will vary in the lead-up to Christmas, so it’s important to check the times for your local store, but the retailer has confirmed that most branches will be operating extended hours to ‘ensure customers can stock up ahead of the big day’
In the interim period between Christmas and New Year, stores will reopen as usual on Sunday 27 through to Wednesday 30 December, with reduced hours also likely on Sunday and New Year’s Eve.
Speaking on the decision to shut up shop for a full 62-hour period this festive season, Rachel Geary, who is the Communications Director at Aldi UK, said: “Christmas is a special time for our customers, but it is also one of the busiest periods of the year for our teams.
“Our colleagues work incredibly hard to ensure customers can pick up everything they need ahead of the big day.
“We never take that effort for granted. Closing our stores on Boxing Day is one way of saying thank you and giving colleagues a proper chance to rest, switch off and spend more time with the people closest to them.”
