On Wednesday, December 18, Kidzone Out-of-School Clubs Limited owners Paul Chatfield and Lucy Pollard bought the selection boxes to spread Christmas cheer.
Three staff members, Callum Chatfield, Janette Masters, and Judith Mulroney, dressed as elves and delivered the boxes to Farnworth Care Home.
They gave a selection box to every resident and staff member.
Mr Chatfield said: "The smiles on everyone's faces, the twinkle in their eyes...it was truly magical.
"Knowing we brought a little extra joy to those who might need it most this Christmas made every moment worthwhile."
Ms Mulroney said: "Seeing the residents' faces light up as we entered the rooms was magical.
"I loved every moment of the visit."
Ms Masters said: "We entered the rooms of the residents, and the smiles on their faces were truly magical.
"One lady said to me, 'Is this for Christmas?' I had to keep the tears back – this was the true meaning of Christmas."
They ended their visit with a message: "Thank you and see you in 2025."
