Nestle's Allen's pop-up store has returned in time for Christmas with childhood classics and limited-edition sweets.

A popular initiative last year, the store is due to provide a unique, personalised shopping experience once more.

This time it is named Allen’s Lollysmiths, and it will allow guests the chance to 'pick ‘n’ mix' their favourite lollies including Spearmint Leaves and Green Frogs, and create personalised, custom lolly jars.

Beloved childhood classics will be available, along with the never-before-seen limited edition sweets.

It re-opened in Westfield Sydney on 8 November, and will appear at Melbourne Central from 15 November.

Nestlé general manager of confectionery Martin Brown said the company had reinvented favourites like Coconut Ice and Chocolate Coated Bananas to wow consumers.

Other limited-edition products on offer at Allen’s Lollysmiths include:

• WE’RE BRINGING MINTY BACK: Classic soft and juicy spearmint flavoured Allen’s Lollysmiths Exceptionals Spearmint Leaves
• DEAD SET CLASSICS: Delicious Allen’s Lollysmiths Exceptionals Aussie Mix jellies shaped as dead set classic Aussie icons, including the Sydney Opera House and kangaroos

• SALTY CREAMY DAY-DREAMY: Delicious bite sized pieces of rich, buttery Allen’s Lollysmiths Black Label Salted Caramel Fudge.
