Mary Berry’s Absolute Favourites - Christmas (2014)

Watched on Britbox

Part One


A must watch for Berry fans. Solid production values, interesting field trips and plenty of easily followed instruction. Everything she makes looks great and I’m tempted to try the Fish Pie and Beef casserole with horseradish and mustard.

Part Two


Mary goes all out preparing a classic Christmas dinner, plus a visit to Hampton Court for a Tudor Christmas

A Mary Berry Bonus: 



Songs of Praise Dec 13 2015

Mary appears, and cooks, on the long running faith based program that also features superstar Swiss violinist Andre Rieu.


The Bobby and Damaris Show - How About Those Holidays (2017)


Not super excited by the recipes but Bobby and Damaris make a good team, it’s a solid, though not very Christmassy, episode.




Jamie’s Family Christmas (2009)

Been following Jamie since his Naked Chef days and while a little goes a long way this holiday series is truly excellent. Great recipes, terrific production value. Fun and informative.





.The Hairy Bikers Christmas Party (2013) Featuring absolute legend Roy Wood. The lads throw a holiday do for some of the folk they’ve met traveling and filming. Did I mention Roy Wood of The Move, ELO,and Wizzard is in this? The “I Wish it Could Be Christmas Everyday” and “Rock and Roll WinterRoy Wood. Oh yeah. The recipes are nice as well




Wrap Battle (2019)

Dumbest / worst holiday competition show yet.
