Subway and Cadbury have teamed up to launch the Easter creation you didn’t know you needed (or wanted… or didn’t).
A six-inch sub sandwich filled with melted Creme Eggs.
With Easter only a couple of days away, the fast food chain and the confectionary company have joined forces to launch the, rather bizarre, chocolate sandwich creation – named the SubMelt with Cadbury Creme Egg – just in time for Good Friday, and if you’re lucky, you could get your hands one of these limited-edition subs for free.
There’s a bit of a catch, though, as not only are there only 500 of the SubMelt with Cadbury Creme Egg being made, but they’re only available in a select few Subway branches.
The six-inch subs will be being handed out for free at four restaurants on 7 April (Good Friday) – Tottenham Court Road in London, Central Shopping Centre in Liverpool, Llansamlet Service Station in Swansea, and Sauchiehall Street in Glasgow.

So, how did the SubMelt with Cadbury Creme Egg actually come about then?
Well, we haven’t been given much background context, but what we do know is that Subway has admitted it came up with the idea and approached the iconic chocolate maker to make the collaboration happen.

“We’re delighted to have collaborated with Cadbury this Easter,” explains Rusty Warren – Senior New Product Development and Product Innovation Manager at Subway UK.
“Our Italian White Bread and Cadbury Creme Eggs make the most flavoursome combination, a perfect seasonal treat, and all the team at Subway are especially excited to see how those Subway fans with a sweet tooth respond to this delicious SubMelt.”

“The highly-anticipated Creme Egg season is in full swing and we’re so excited to launch this innovative product with Subway as a final hoorah of the season,” added Charlotte Docker – Brand Executive for Cadbury Creme Egg.
“We can’t wait for the response of those lucky enough to try this surprisingly delicious merging of sweet and savoury.”
Each participating Subway branch will only have a limited number of the sandwiches chocked full of Cadbury’s beloved chocolate treat available.
Basically, you’ll need to be quick if you’re keen to try the creation before it goes.

8 million Brits are predicted to write their Christmas cards using AI this year, new research finds

Millions of Brits are predicted to use AI to help them write their Christmas cards this year.
According to some new Royal Mail research, AI is most likely to be used for researching gifts (19%), festive party ideas (13%), and decoration inspiration (13%) throughout this festive season, but in what is a revelation many will find surprising – and even alarming – it’ll even be used for the timeless tradition of sending Christmas cards.
2,000 UK adults who celebrate Christmas were surveyed by the postal service early last month on how they plan to make use of technology this festive season.
The new research found that 11% of respondents will be using AI to help write the messages for their Christmas cards, which works out to be around eight million people.
It’s the under-55s who are driving the trend, as you can probably imagine – with 57% of this age group planning to lean on AI for guidance, compared to just 14% of those over 55.
Oh, and you’ll want to keep an extra eye on the Christmas cards that come from the men in your life too, as men are 67% more likely than women to use AI to help them.

Although it may be largely frowned upon, it’s fairly easy to see why people are turning to tech to find the right words, as the Royal Mail’s research found that nearly one in five (19%) Brits say they don’t know what to write in cards, and this figure rises even further to 31% when it comes to 18-24-year-olds.
Despite the use of AI as a helping hand, three quarters of Brits (74%) do still think it’s important to keep the tradition of sending handwritten Christmas cards alive.
“AI is becoming part of everyday life for many people,” says technology journalist and broadcaster, Georgie Barrat. “So it’s natural we’ll see it used during the festive season. When it comes to writing cards, it can help you go beyond a simple ‘Merry Christmas’ and choose words that feel more unique.
“Often, people know what they want to say – they just need a little help expressing it.”
Richard Travers, who is the Managing Director of Letters at Royal Mail, concluded: “No matter what you include in your card, or how you choose to write your message, cards are truly a way of spreading festive cheer.”

Manchester’s 2025 Christmas Parade in pictures as tens of thousands turn out for festive event
Emily Sergeant
Tens of thousands of residents flocked to the city centre this past weekend for Manchester’s annual Christmas Parade.
Over the past few years since it first took place in 2022, Manchester Christmas Parade has become a festive favourite with both locals and visitors alike, and with more than 400 participants and performers gracing the city’s main shopping streets this year, it’s really not hard to see why it’s a much-loved fixture in the city’s countdown to Christmas.
Seen by many as the heartwarming event of the festive season, Manchester Christmas Parade was even ‘bigger and better’ than last year’s fantastic crowdpleaser.
Even a drop of the classic Manchester rain didn’t stop play on the day, as the fabulous festive Parade made its way through the packed city streets to the smiles and cheers of all those watching.
Despite the Manchester weather, tens of thousands of you turned out to make Sunday’s Christmas Parade truly magical. 🎅 👼 🥁
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for the heart-warming event of the season.
“I remember thinking at the end of our fabulous Manchester Christmas Parade last year that we would never be able to top it,” commented Cllr Pat Karney, Manchester City Council’s Christmas spokesperson. “But this year’s parade has been off-the-scale brilliant – it was so much fun and you could see how much all the children loved it.
“The city centre was heaving, it felt like millions of Mancs had turned out for the parade, and what a performance we put on for them.”
The streets were filled with music and laughter this year, as well as the return of Manchester’s very-own Elf Express, complete with VIP passenger Santa hitching a ride on his way to the North Pole, together with his trusty team of elves.

Not only that, but Nutcracker-inspired toy soldiers also sweept their way through the Parade on segways, alongside a roaming Christmas tree, a pair of gentle giant-sized reindeer, a stunning arctic fox, and Jack Frost himself.
Brand-new for this year will be the fantastic Festive Fantasy Candyland Castle, which stood over three-meters tall and truly was the stuff of fairytales.
“Manchester once again helped make the magic and the memories for a whole generation of families from across the city and beyond,” Cllr Karney concluded.
