You have landed on a desert island on Christmas Eve (by magic/ freak weather incident or sci-fi explanation take your pick!) , rescuers are coming but not before Boxing Day at least. You will be air dropped a basic food supply and you can have 3 other small items to make things festive:
a savoury food
a sweet food
a drink
What do you pick?

Mine are; cheese; red wine and one of the tins of French stuffed prunes that I've only ever seen at Lakeland but must be available elesewhere.

Some great picks. I'm now wondering if I could get Christmas down to 5 or 6 essentials and streamline the whole thing.
