I don’t know about you but I still have several litres of Christmas trifle in the fridge here and can’t even think about 2025 yet. But for some people the day after Christmas has become the first day they can snare hot cross buns from the supermarket.
There’s an added bonus for those looking for their HCB fix this year – as Coles’ hot cross buns hit shelves today, 20 cents from every six and nine pack of Coles brand hot cross buns sold donated to Redkite in a delicious mission to make a difference and help support families facing childhood cancer.
Whether you’re a fruit traditionalist, an apple and cinnamon devotee, a choc fanatic, or prefer fruit-free, Coles’ popular hot cross buns are back for $4.50 a pack or two packs for $7, ready to sweeten the season and make an impact where it counts with a 20 cent donation to Redkite from today until Wednesday 1 January 2025.
Coles General Manager Commercial, Bakery, Dairy & Frozen, Brad Gorman said he was excited to see the beloved hot cross buns back on shelves, making it easy for customers to enjoy a sweet treat and give back to families in difficult times.
“We’re incredibly proud of our 11-year partnership with Redkite, through which we’ve supported more than 8,500 families dealing with some of life’s toughest challenges,” he said
“We’re turning a delicious treat into a powerful way to make a difference, helping to fund vital services for children and their families.”
Since 2013, the incredible generosity of Coles customers and team members has raised more than $54 million, helping thousands of families, face cancer with strength and resilience.
