The 2021 Cadbury Egg Commercial Starred a Tree Frog

Meet the tree frog that rocked bunny ears in the 2021 Easter advertisement.

The weeks before Easter are filled with two things: Cadbury Creme Eggs and the iconic Cadbury Clucking Bunny commercials. If you haven't seen one, the commercials—which first debuted in 1983 with a white bunny imitating the sound of a hen—evolved into "Easter Bunny Tryouts," featuring a variety of animals wearing bunny ears and vying for the role of the Cadbury bunny. In 2019, Cadbury opened the contest to real-life pets, with Henri the English bulldog claiming the first U.S.A. title.

For the Cadbury egg commercial of 2021, the chocolate company teamed up with the previous year's winner (a two-legged dog named Lieutenant Dan) to host the season's Cadbury Bunny Tryouts. And the winner wasn't the least bit furry.

The winner of the third annual tryouts was Betty the Australian White's tree frog from Stuart, Florida. Betty was one of more than 12,000 entries (a record number!) and was declared the winner after fans cast almost 30,000 votes. She was the first-ever amphibian to take the title—and the first female, too! Betty donned a miniature set of bunny ears for the 2021 Cadbury egg commercial.

In recognition of her success, Betty was awarded $5,000, and to make the contest even sweeter, Cadbury pledged to donate $15,000 to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, ASPCA.
