I have offered to do Christmas at mine for the first time. I am trying to do a M & S order (because that seems to be the place to get Christmas food from ) but I have no idea there were so many different turkeys.

Can some Christmas experts please tell me what I need to order . I am starting to panic Confused and feel I have left it to late

I had never bought my Christmas food from M&S tbh. We get ours from Tesco. Normally get a whole turkey (rather than a crown). We don't order it we just go and pick it off the shelf

How many are you cooking for?

Remember - it's just a roast dinner. And if something goes wrong/gets burned/timings are off - well, it's still just a roast dinner.

If you're really worried, make sure there are some nice things that don't require any work, e.g. smoked salmon for starters.

And M & S is completely unnecessary, unless you're v. comfortably off. We use Aldi, and it's fine, honestly. You can always pick up a few extra things from Waitrose/M & S if that's your thing.
