The winning design, created by 24-year-old Izzy Fletcher from Bishops Waltham, will give a festive boost to the Teenage Cancer Trust with a donation of 50 pence for every pack sold.
Izzy, who was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in 2023, impressed the judging panel with her charming town on a starry Christmas Eve design.
