Beeston-born sweet company Bear & Bee are known for their delicious, vegan-friendly pick ‘n’ mix. These festive treats are a great way to sweeten up Christmas morning and, as they’re vegan, they have the added bonus of being kind to the planet. Bear & Bee also offer gluten-free options, so celiac folk can get their sugar fix too.
