It's a no from me, slightly fruity very sweet pink hot chocolate for £2 when you could make a lovely actual real hot chocolate for way less!
Doesn't look good, and look at all that plastic. I'm being a party pooper but no Percy hot chocolate in this house

Mine was the same. I managed to get the Xmas star tortilla chips but that was about it. Oh and they had the gin in but I want the biscuit tin!
Yeah I made the mistake of buying my child the Percy pig Easter egg, the one shaped like a pig. The taste was awful!! No one in the house wanted it so it went in the bin. This looks like the same thing so I’ll definitely pass.
I totally see this as a stocking filler for kids. Give me a Colin one and then I’m invested
They have Colin caterpillar hot chocolate stirrers! I got them the other day to put away as stocking fillers but my 4yo found it and we tasted it they’re nice but not quite worth £2 if I’m truthful!
Percy Pigs may be the most over rated things ever. Rather Colin over Percy any day of the week
I think M&S have taken it all a bit far with the Percy merch now aswell. Literally on everything from clothing to straws now
I had one of the Big Daddy Chocolate bars over the past two days but could only eat the filling. I thought there was far too much chocolate on the top and bottom. I will freeze it and use for baking at a later date. So glad they only cost me 1 pence each! 
I think the filling tasted like the Lidl Snicker copies. The filling might be nice with some vanilla ice cream or in a banana split.

Even a tree decoration.
Yea the percy pig stuff is getting a bit out of hand! I did used to really like Percy pigs but it’s got quite sickly. The “phizzy” pop, the percy pig grape and raspberry juice, the percymas Christmas pies, the percy biscuits, the various ranges of sweets, the advent calendars, birthday cards, gift wrap, pyjamas, these latest hot chocolate things! I mean if it was Colin related stuff I’d be all over it 
They need to cull about 75% of the range. It's just too much. Far better to have a few good things than pump out all this crap. Why dont they try to develop a new character?
They tried and failed miserably earlier this year with those ombles (?I think that’s what they’re called) but they just had no appeal compared to Colin and Percy
I wonder if they have had a new head of marketing or something?
Yes you are right and they don’t even taste that good any more.
I really liked it but yes it’s very sickly. I’m a big fan of things with peanuts in. Unfortunately I didn’t get any for 1p!I had one of the Big Daddy Chocolate bars over the past two days but could only eat the filling.

Managed to spend £60 on one basket today 
People are definitely stocking up early. Lots of the Christmas aisle was quite empty, but maybe it is low stock. All the other shelves were full. I got the light up rum liqueur, definitely overpriced but I am a sucker, tastes nice though!

I couldn't believe they had bed linen in it!
