How to Have a Merry Christmas brings together timeless rituals, modern shortcuts, comforting recipes, and thoughtful ideas for making the festive period smoother from start to finish.
Discover the stories behind classic British traditions, learn how to prepare your feast without stress, master make-ahead sauces and sides, set a beautiful table on any budget, and build small rituals that turn December into something magical. From cosy nights in and winter walks to wrapping strategies, music playlists, and post-Christmas recovery, this is your companion for a simpler, happier holiday.
