Britain, holiday spending "flies" - Food prices are up to 70% more expensive
British citizens are paying up to 70% more for chocolate sweets this Christmas compared to last year, while the price of turkey has risen by up to £15, according to consumer protection organisation Which?.
The group analysed a range of ingredients for a typical Christmas dinner, as well as other festive treats, including mince pies, wine and chocolates.
Festive chocolate saw the biggest increase this year, with some products increasing in price by 72%. Lindt chocolates took the top two spots in this ranking, counting all Christmas foods and sweets.
The report showed that "overall inflation figures do not show the full picture of the situation faced by shoppers in supermarkets for the holidays," market experts explain.
Problems in cocoa production have contributed to the rise in the price of chocolate, driven by extreme temperatures and heavy rainfall.
While festive sweets had the largest percentage increases, higher-priced products like turkey have suffered the largest price increases in monetary value.
According to the Which? report, turkey meat has gone up to 68.77 pounds this year, an expansion of 14.95 pounds or 27.8%.
The study's authors argue that individual price increases are caused by problems such as bird flu and higher costs for farmers.
