Nestlé has packaged up a special edition Christmas collection for its KitKat Chocolatory store in Melbourne.

The festive collection has been packaged in carton boxes with summery Christmas themes, including a window to showcase the specialty chocolate inside.

The collection offers a new take on five festive favourites including Visions of Sugar Plums, a new twist on Christmas pudding; Ginger & Spice & All Things Nice, a gourmet ginger bread surprise; and Walking Through a Winter Wonderland, inspired by a rich black forest gateau.

At the Melbourne Central store, guests are also given the chance to craft a bespoke KitKat bar with a variety of flavour combinations, in a unique gift box.
