Christmas shopping tips
Shop in stages
Buy pantry staples, drinks, and frozen items 2–3 weeks ahead. Leave fresh vegetables, meat, and dairy to the final few days for best quality.
Order the turkey early
If you're getting a fresh turkey or free-range bird, order from your butcher weeks in advance. The best ones sell out fast, especially closer to Christmas.
You always need more butter
Roast potatoes, vegetables, pastry, bread sauce — butter goes into almost everything. Buy more than you think you need. Same goes for wine.
Plan breakfast and boxing day too
It's easy to focus on Christmas dinner and forget breakfast and leftovers. A quick breakfast spread and a boxing day plan makes the whole holiday smoother.
