But Andrea Williams, chief executive of Christian Concern, said it was “missing the meaning of Christmas”.
She added: “What’s this a countdown to? Advent anticipates the arrival of Jesus — the reason for the season.”

Advent is the first season of the Church year and includes the four Sundays before Christmas.
Tony’s Chocolonely was contacted for comment.
