It's hard to believe that Easter is here, but yes, it's time to celebrate! So if you're looking for Easter inspiration, it's time to start thinking about one of our favourite Easter traditions: Easter eggs, whether chocolate or savoury, filled or hollow, luxury or straight from the supermarket!

So how much time do you have until Easter? Easter Sunday 2022 takes place on 17 April, while the Easter weekend bank holidays – Good Friday and Easter Monday – fall on 15 April and 18 April, respectively.

Our advice? We recommend you order immediately if you're shopping for Easter eggs online. Not only is time running out, but also because of the increase in online demand, chocolate Easter egg favourites like Cadbury or Thorntons or gourmet and speciality eggs are selling out fast. 

What day should you eat Easter eggs?

Well, for many of us with little self-control when it comes to chocolate, the day to eat Easter eggs is the day you bring them home! But chocolate-loving impulses aside, the most common days to tuck into your Easter treats are Good Friday, Easter Sunday and Easter Monday. Easter Sunday is the most popular day, as that’s when children enjoy the traditional Easter egg hunt, a fun highlight of the weekend.

Now that you have your planning underway, all you need now is the Easter eggs! So check out our selection of the best easter eggs you can shop online for 2022.
