Italian luxury chocolate and gelato manufacturer Venchi is launching its gourmet Christmas Collection 2022.

The Christmas collection is a tribute to fairy tales in which animals bring gifts of elegant garlands, sophisticated decorations and twirling ribbons. This creates an atmosphere filled with magic and celebration.

All the chocolate boxes celebrate Christmas tales with animals associated with the time of year: foxes, squirrels, deers and robins. 

All the gift boxes can be customized according to store availability, and they will be available at all nine Venchi boutiques in London; at luxury wholesalers Harrods, Selfridges, Fenwick, and Eataly; and online at uk.venchi.com. 

The Christmas collection includes:

• Wooden Advent calendar (assorted chocolates, 269 g): £120
