Christmas is a season of playfulness – twinkling lights, favourite films, and flavours which bring a festive feeling with every bite. Now Müller Corner has created a new yogurt that's part dessert, part treat - perfect for kids, grown-ups, and those who can't decide which they are until the Christmas snacks come out. 
Each pot is filled with festive-shaped gingerbread men and crunchy milk chocolate coated biscuit balls, ready to swirl into Müller's signature creamy vanilla flavour yogurt. Every spoonful offers a fun, festive twist on the much-loved Müller Corner, combining Christmas spices with a tasty chocolate crunch. 


Christmas is a time for playful rituals and the perfect time to enjoy little moments of fun. Pour the gingerbread men and chocolate biscuits into our creamy vanilla yogurt and savour every last minute of a limited edition treat. But be quick and get them before they're gone!
