When it comes to a luxurious range of Christmas chocolates, Marks and Spencer is usually a reliable source for all your holiday treats.

If you loved the retailer's Santa's Workshop Chocolate Box last year, then you're in luck, as there is the brand new Magical Christmas Village, which fans have already been praising as "super cute."

As reported by the Manchester Evening News, the retailer's Magical Christmas Village chocolate set includes a mixture of milk, dark, white and blond chocolate in the shape of snow-topped cabins and trees.

Available to buy online from Ocado for £15, this 249g box of festive chocolates features a stunning snowy Christmas village scene that lights up, and plays the twinkling notes of the popular Christmas tune the First Noel.

As the retailer's chocolate boxes usually do well at Christmas time, it's no wonder shoppers have already been raving over the latest "super cute" addition."

One review on the Ocado website reads: "I saw it on social media and bought one myself. It’s beautiful and the music is lovely. It’s not worth it if you’re hoping for lots of chocolate but the overall idea is super cute."

A second impressed shopper wrote: "It’s beautiful and the music is lovely."

Meanwhile, a third added: "Oh M&S only you get everything so right for the Christmas season. JOY."

Last year, M&S launched Santa’s Magical Light Up Chocolate Workshop, also priced at £15. The chocolate box was filled with 245g worth of chocolate-shaped gonks and gingerbread men.
