However, I was absolutely disgusted and appalled when I walked through a large number of shops after New Year's Day with *Christmas decorations* up already,' Matthew wrote. However others suggested that hot cross buns should be sold all year round. 'I could eat a hot cross bun every day of the f***ing year if I could buy them, because they taste great,' wrote Chas. Sam agreed: 'Hey Coles and Woollies, here’s an idea, get rid of the cross, it doesn’t add to the taste anyway, and just call them fruit buns.' 'It solves people getting upset and then we could have them 365 days of the year and those wanting a cross at Easter could decorate the fruit buns themselves,' he wrote. 'It’s not like they're made of blessed ingredients or anything.' Coles launched a vegemite and cheese 'savoury hot cross bun' range on Boxing Day One of the newest lines in Easter buns is the 'Le Mini sourdough hot cross bun' Daily Mail Australia approached Coles and Woolworths for comment.
