Nestle Confirms Major Change to All Quality Street Tubs After 2 Years
John Lewis will stop selling Quality Street in stores, and Nestlé says its recyclable paper tubs will not return this year.
For the first time in eight years, John Lewis confirmed it will not offer its dedicated Quality Street Pick & Mix station this Christmas, nor stock any Quality Street chocolates, forcing customers to shop elsewhere.
Nestlé confirmed it is ending the UK-wide rollout of its paper Quality Street tubs for the 2026 festive season after trialing the eco-friendly cardboard packaging over the last two years.
While the cardboard tubs were fully recyclable, shoppers described the packaging as "gloomy" and "not appealing to the eye," drawing mixed reactions that led the company to reconsider the sustainable alternative to traditional metal tins.
Nestlé Confectionery Marketing Director Beth Lucas said the brand is partnering with Monopoly for 2026, offering shoppers chances to win prizes ranging from £5 to a top cash prize of £20,580.
The company hinted the paper tubs are not gone for good, stating, "Watch this space as we continue to explore its role with the ambition to bring it back on a bigger scale in the future.
