The retailer is also raising money for BBC Children in Need by selling two festive biscuits, Jolly Mc Trouble and Gary the Penguin. A two-part BBC Celebrity Apprentice Christmas special will show celebrities including Eddi Kadi, Jake Wood, JB Gill and AJ Odudu taking part in the biscuit creation.
A £1 Christmas activity book from The Fruities and Veggies will also be sold, with proceeds going to FareShare, which supports vulnerable families with food supplies.
One Stop said it will again run its community Christmas hamper scheme after what it described as a successful 2024. Stores will be able to create and donate a hamper to a customer they believe would benefit from support during the festive period.
