Many of the dishes you'll be serving on Christmas Day can be prepared in advance and frozen or prepared in the couple of days before and kept in the refrigerator.
Check out this article on planning Christmas catering in the weeks leading up to the big day and this piece on scheduling tasks on Christmas Day to ensure your meal is cooked to perfection and all dishes ready at the same time!
You may also like this recipe for traditional Christmas Pudding - from my mum - but will need to get it made in the next couple of days if you're planning on preparing an Xmas pud as it needs time to relax and mature prior to a final steaming on Christmas Day. It's an easy recipe, the only hard part is the mixing of all the ingredients to make sure they're all combined to perfection!
My Christmas pudding (shown above) has been steamed and soaked in brandy for a final time and is now wrapped up in a kitchen store cupboard all ready for the big day.
Merry Christmas and happy preparations!
