A Sweet Way To Give Back This Holiday Season

November 5, 2025

Holidays

This holiday season, Canadian favourite Purdys Chocolatier is spreading cheer in more ways than one. Back for its seventh year, the beloved Dear Santa Bar—a creamy milk chocolate treat packed with crunchy salted toffee bits—is doing good with every bite.

The bar was inspired by a heartwarming insight: children spending the holidays in hospitals often worry that Santa won’t know where to find them. To help ease those worries, $2 from every Dear Santa Bar goes directly to supporting essential programs and services for children in hospitals across Canada, including BC Children’s Hospital.

As Melissa Swindells, Director of Corporate Partnerships at BC Children’s Hospital Foundation, shares, “These donations brighten young lives and support the specialized treatment that helps more kids return home to enjoy the holidays with their families.”

Available now in Purdys Chocolate Shops and online, this sweet gift is proof that sometimes, doing good tastes even better. —Noa Nichol
