Saturday, December 6, 2025 With twinkling lights, the scent of pine in the air, gift shopping (hopefully) underway, and chilly evenings spent cosying up with a steaming mug of cocoa – or something a little stronger – it's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas.   With just weeks to go until the big day, many of us are placing our pre-orders for festive food. Whether you're opting for M&S's Christmas food-to-order menu (which includes a festive Colin the caterpillar) or hunting for bargains at a budget supermarket, we've got the lowdown on the full range of festive treats.   And if you're stocking up on drinks, we've got that covered, too. From wines recommended by sommeliers to supermarket whiskies perfect for a warming tipple, we've tried and tested the best of the best.   So grab a cosy blanket, press play on your favourite Christmas movie, pour yourself a festive drink, and scroll on for all the delicious inspiration you'll need this holiday season.
