It’s a Christmas miracle!
It’s still a month away but Jacob’s nearly ruined the Christmas of 2015 for everyone last week when they announced that the Jelly Star biscuit, the shining light in their Afternoon Tea collection, was getting the shove this Christmas in favour of a plain old chocolate wheel biscuit.
In terms of substitutions, it was like taking off Lionel Messi and throwing on Paul McShane (no offence Paul) in his place and understandably, biscuit lovers throughout Ireland were outraged at the development.
Thankfully, in what is the closest thing we’ve seen to a Christmas miracle in a long time, Hassett’s Bakery in Cork are bringing back the Jelly Star and judging by the pictures, they’re already looking better than ever.

No need to cancel Christmas after all lads; now can somebody put the kettle on?
We’re guessing you feel a little like this right now…
