Whatever the occasion, having some tasty treats to hand is never a bad idea. And a New Year’s Eve party is no exception! What better way to see in a new year than surrounded by all of your favourite people and confectionery!
At Hancocks, we’ve got plenty of great confectionery that is perfect for throwing a party. So we’ve decided to share some of our top picks for party stock, and hopefully it’ll inspire you and your customers to ring in 2022 in style!
A candy buffet is always a brilliant addition to any party. Helping your customers put on a candy buffet is a great way to elevate their New Year’s parties.
Bringing together a selection of everyone’s favourite sweets and chocolates, a candy buffet is essentially a giant pick and mix. Throughout our range, you’ll find great pick n mix choices for your customers.
If you want retro favourites, the Hancock’s exclusive Kingsway Flying Saucers are a great choice. Their sherbet centre injects excitement into any party because there’s nothing else like them! Haribo Rhubarb & Custards are another popular choice. Everyone loves the Haribo range, and these retro flavours are no exception! Popular with chocolate fans, Chocolate Jazzies never go out of style. Being such a tasty treat, why would they?!
But we’re celebrating a new year, so it makes sense to offer contemporary and exciting sweets, too! Kingsway Tongue Painters are a really fun option to stock. Not only are they deliciously fruity, but they will leave their mark! You’ll also find pick n mix favourites such as Sweetzone Fizzy Blue Bottles. These bubblegum flavour gummies are halal-approved, just like all of the Sweetzone range!
Obviously, these are all just suggestions. But any of our top 50 pick and mix sweets are popular choices – that’s why they’re on the list! It could also be a good idea to prepare for the New Year’s parties in advance to make it even easier for your customers. With some 8 Section Nibbles Platters, pre-packing your wholesale sweets into a ready-made candy buffet will earn plenty of brownie points. This is a good example of how some forward-thinking can make things a lot easier for your customers! There are other packaging options, too, such as pink and blue striped candy bags that have a great retro feel! You can pack these with sweets or offer them as candy buffet accessories!
Sweet tubs make it easy to cater for a New Year’s get-together. Plus, any leftovers can help to keep January blues at bay! Here at Hancocks, we have a wide range of sweet tubs available in bulk, with options from plenty of leading suppliers like Haribo, Swizzels and many other customer favourites.
Tubs of Maoam Stripes are always popular, with their juicy chewiness welcome at any party. The same goes for Swizzels Fun Gums Fried Eggs. These fruity foam and jelly classics have been a beloved sweet for as long as we can remember!
We also have a number of premade sweet mixes that offer tasty, quick solutions for customers in a rush. The range concludes plenty of variety, allowing you to offer a great selection to visitors to your store. The Kingsway Space Mix is a gummy delight that kids will love. Their Assorted Fizzy Mix offers a little more kick, for those who prefer their sweets sour!
Candy cups are another option for smaller gatherings. Party planners love an easy solution, and that’s exactly what Bonds’ shaker cups provide. From their Candy Bliss shaker to the Rainforest Mix, there’s a diverse choice of fantastic party sweets! And all of them offer a simple fix of sweets!
When families get together, share bags are perfect for dipping into whilst catching up. Therefore, many families will be looking for them as part of their New Year’s celebrations. Here at Hancocks, we have a wide range of chocolates for sharing – and plenty of sweets, too.
You can’t go wrong with the chocolate sharing pouches. Milkybar Giant Buttons, are adored by fans of white chocolate, whilst Aero Peppermint Bubbles are a fresher option. Within our range of pouches, you’ll find a vast supply of beloved chocolate snacks, with options that your customers are bound to love.
Chocolate is great, but some people just prefer sweets. For them, options like Haribo Starmix and Tangfastics are always welcome, while bags of Fruit Pastilles and Wine Gums are popular options too.
A big gathering or party isn’t the only way to celebrate the beginning of a new year. The last few years have been trying for all of us, and whilst some will want a big party, others will be keen to have a cosy night. Perhaps they’ll put on a film and sit in front of the TV, or play board games, or however they enjoy a quiet night at home. For nights like these, crisps and snacks are the perfect additions!
If a night on the sofa with a good film is in order, popcorn will be the star of the show! At Hancocks, we’ve got great wholesale popcorn options that will help you cover all bases. There’s the tried and tested Butterkist range, with great flavours that we all know and love. But we also have Joe & Seph’s gourmet popcorn range, which includes indulgent air-popped popcorn. We stock an array of flavours and even their Chocolate Lovers Gourmet Selection Box.
For a truly different popcorn to offer, Retrocorn has got you covered. Their unique method of coating popcorn with crushed boiled sweets results in some magical treats! With Cola Cube and Rhubarb & Custard among their flavours, there really is no popcorn like it!
When it comes to crisps, we have a huge variety of multipacks and tubes that again are ideal companions for a cosy evening. Multipacks of Walkers favourites are a product that always catch the eye of customers, whilst tubes of Pringles always feel like a savoury treat!
Of course, there is no beating chocolate for some people – whatever the occasion! Our range of wholesale chocolate bars is the perfect way to offer chocoholic customers their perfect treat for calmer New Year’s celebrations! With popular picks from all the top brands, there’s a bar for everyone!
No two of your customers will be seeing in the New Year the same way. So, it makes sense to offer them plenty of choices as a new year approaches. Throughout all of our stock, we have plenty of products that cater to all different dietary needs. From vegan chocolate to halal sweets. Hopefully, you’re now feeling inspired to help your customers have the best New Year possible!
As always, if you have any questions about any of our products or offers, get in touch with us! The Hancocks team are here to help you deliver the best for your customers!
