You’ll get the chance to send a chocolate bar for to anyone in secret (completely free) via their Secret Santa Postal Service!
Cadbury Secret Santa Starts On Monday, 06 November 2023 (from 6am)
Last year Cadbury gave away more than 119,450 free chocolate bars as part of their #secretsanta campaign
There will be Secret Santa posters scattered across the country (at high streets, bus stops and train stations) with a QR code that you can scan to get a code to claim a free chocolate.
There’s usually a daily claim limit on each link.
They usually will also run a prize draw to win chocolate in case you miss the free chocolate giveaway.
Like last year the promoter reserves the right to block people who are abusing the system by participating many times via fraudulent email addresses and sending more than 5 free bars to the same address.
So don’t abuse the system!

I actually finally had some success yesterday.
The trick for me wasn't quickly checking at various different times throughout the day, it was committing and clicking links non-stop for four or five minutes at a time.
Use the StarFreebies page with 20-odd different links on it, and just start at the top or bottom and work your way up, and then back down, and then back up, the list. Click the link, if it says "sorry we're out of chocolate" then just back-out of that page and try the next one.
For me, it was just about pace. One, then the next, then the next, then the next. I never did it for longer than five minutes before hitting the chocolate page, but I failed at the chocolate page a few times before I got it (again, it's speed - make sure you've got your mobile number copied beforehand so that it is ready to paste into the box, and then tick the accept T&Cs button and the "I am not a robot" button).
If you can get past that first page you can breathe and take your time verifying the code, selecting your chocolate bar, and entering your details.
If, though, after entering your mobile number it takes you to the "sorry we're out of chocolate" page then you were too slow - so it's back to step one - rapidly flicking through the links again until you get a hit.
There's no way to tell how close or far you are from it but, as I say, if you stick at it for a solid 5 mins or so then you'll hopefully hit the "enter your mobile" page at least once. You've just got to be primed and ready for it when it appears - because its very much "fastest finger first".
I've not been able to get any yet, posting here will probably make it harder too!

Is there a list of places with the QR code? I don't mind traveling locally to post the code for everyone

Don’t understand how people are getting more than one. When you use your number it only allows it once. Anyone tell me how to cheat system 🙈 (edited)

Asked for my mobile number then told me they didn't have any! Thanks for the link though

I don't begrudge anyone who is actually getting these their chocolate (well done!), but the five-per-house rule seems a bit daft when most people can't get it going at all.
Why not (from a business/marketing/reputation/reach perspective) let five times as many people get one free bar. Shrug.
I'll keep clicking!
Troy_Thompson
People would just find work arounds. For example, if they made it one per address you could just send it to a friend's house and pick it up.

Think we are all waiting to see who sees a code first now and gets it posted out to share lol

Please can someone post a valid link!? X
ukheather
This is in person only right? You can't do this online? Or am I wrong in thinking that?
I am disabled and can't go out easily so can't do it in person but I would love to do this.
Thanks (edited)

You can do it from home! You just need to keep an eye out for the links and regularly try them.
if you look at this link there are 12 Cadbury links that you can keep trying and hopefully lucky and get one!

How do the allocations work? Is it per qr code or a daily allowance for all or something?
Pockers
I believe each QR code is allocated a certain number of bars but do restock. Then you can only use your mobile number and email once. However, you can get up to 5 bars per address, if for example you have other family members wanting to use their details.

They didn't have any fruit and nut bars left though

I just got two via one of the links in the recent comments at 21.12 and 21.42, so they definitely are restocking regularly. One for me and one to hopefully put a smile on a young lady's face. Her boyfriend probably won't appreciate it 😁 (edited)

To those who have managed to claim a bar- what time of day was it? Every time I try they have none. Thanks x
