Easter Sunday is one of the most important days in the Christian calendar, celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Unlike Christmas, which always falls on 25th December, Easter moves around from year to year. It can take place as early as 22nd March or as late as 25th April, which can be confusing for anyone trying to plan holidays, church services, or Easter egg hunts.
The reason Easter changes each year is because it’s based on the cycles of the moon, not a fixed date. According to church tradition, Easter falls on the first Sunday after the full moon that occurs on or after 21st March, the date of the spring equinox. This full moon is called the Paschal Full Moon. If that full moon lands on a Sunday, Easter is celebrated the following Sunday instead.
This method of calculation was set in place by the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD to standardise Easter celebrations across the Christian world. It also links Easter to the Jewish festival of Passover, which is when the events of the Easter story are believed to have taken place. Because Passover follows a lunar calendar, Easter’s timing naturally shifts each year as well.
Eastern Orthodox churches often celebrate Easter on a different date, as they use the older Julian calendar instead of the Gregorian one. That’s why Orthodox Easter sometimes falls later than in the West. So while the exact date may change every year, Easter continues to be a meaningful celebration tied to ancient tradition and the rhythms of nature.

Easter is one of the most joyful and colourful times of the year, and nothing says “spring celebration” quite like a basket full of Easter sweets and chocolate. From foil-wrapped chocolate eggs to jelly bunnies and pastel pick and mix, the tradition of giving sweets at Easter is loved by children and adults alike. But why do we associate Easter with chocolate? And what makes Easter sweets such a big part of how we celebrate?
Easter Sunday is a Christian festival that celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It doesn’t fall on the same date every year — instead, it’s celebrated on the first Sunday after the full moon following 21st March (the spring equinox). This means Easter can take place anytime between 22nd March and 25th April.
While Easter has strong religious roots, it has also become a wider cultural celebration of new life, springtime and renewal. Over time, this has led to the exchange of gifts, especially among families, with Easter chocolate and sweets becoming a firm favourite. It’s also the time when we see Easter egg hunts, themed hampers, and beautifully wrapped treats given to children, friends, and loved ones.
The tradition of giving eggs at Easter goes back many centuries. Eggs have long symbolised new life and rebirth, making them the perfect symbol for Easter. In earlier times, people would give real eggs, often painted or dyed with bright colours to celebrate spring. This practice dates back to medieval Europe and has also been linked with ancient Pagan traditions celebrating the start of spring.
As time went on, the simple egg evolved into something more delicious — the chocolate egg. The first chocolate Easter eggs appeared in France and Germany in the early 19th century, and by the late 1800s, they had spread across Europe. Today, chocolate eggs are a central part of Easter celebrations, with brands producing a huge variety of sizes, flavours, and themed packaging.
There’s no shortage of tasty choices when it comes to Easter sweets. Whether you’re putting together a gift basket or planning an egg hunt, here are some of the most popular types of Easter chocolate and sweet treats:
For children, Easter is a magical time filled with excitement, colour and, of course, chocolate. Easter egg hunts are a huge part of that fun — racing around the garden or house to find hidden chocolate eggs and sweets creates lasting memories for families. The bright packaging, animal shapes, and novelty designs make Easter sweets extra special for kids.
On top of that, many children associate Easter with time off school, spring holidays, and spending time with loved ones. Pair that with the excitement of getting a chocolate bunny or a big Easter egg, and you’ve got the perfect mix of seasonal fun and sugary joy. From small chocolate chicks to full gift baskets, there’s something for every age and taste.
Easter isn’t just about eggs — it’s also the perfect occasion to give small, thoughtful gifts to friends and family. If you’re looking for ideas beyond the traditional chocolate egg, here are a few popular choices:
While Easter is traditionally a time for indulgence, there are plenty of ways to keep it balanced. Many shops now offer sugar-free, gluten-free, or vegan Easter sweets, so you can treat everyone — even those with dietary requirements. You can also choose smaller portion sizes or include non-edible treats like stickers, toys or books in your Easter baskets to mix it up a bit.
For families who like to get creative, making homemade Easter treats together is another fun and mindful option. Try melting chocolate and pouring it into moulds, decorating boiled eggs, or baking Easter-themed cupcakes topped with jelly eggs. It’s a lovely way to spend time together and reduce the emphasis on excess sugar while still enjoying seasonal sweets.
Shopping for Easter sweets online is a great way to find unique treats, save money, and plan ahead. At One Pound Sweets, you’ll find a wide selection of Easter-themed goodies, from chocolate eggs and pick and mix sweets to vegan options and bulk bags for parties or events — all starting from just £1 a bag.
