Lindt and NSPCC (National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children) have announced a partnership in the UK that will support little ones this holiday season. The campaign will see Lindt donating £1 for every Lindt TEDDY chocolate treat purchased with a target of £100,000, which will support the Childline counseling service. The campaign will also see consumers able to pick up a free Lindt TEDDY on December 13 to 14 and 20 to 21, 2025 at select locations while supplies last.
Marketing Director at Lindt & Sprüngli UK Angèle Villet spoke on the Lindt and NSPCC partnership saying, "Our research shows adults are nostalgic about their childhood traditions, so this Christmas let our Lindt TEDDY bring back the festive joy. Get your beloved stocking from the loft or treat yourself to a new one before heading to a participating Lindt store and add more magic into the season with Lindt TEDDY.”
