Care to share a picture if so?!
I need to do mine this week. I am doing a Christmas pudding design on it but would love to see what other people have done or are doing?

Not yet, probably not till Chr. Eve, and I don't ice mine, since the icing never got eaten.

Will brush with some warmed and sieved 3 fruit marmalade, then arrange assorted nuts in a nice pattern all over the top, then brush again to glaze, plus a tartan ribbon around it. Oh, and I have a little sugar snowman from Sainsbury's which I will put in the middle.

Not yet, got the ingredients for the marzipan and icing today but not figured out what look to go for yet..

Not this years but here is last year’s ... I’m not exactly good when comes to decorating but I give it a good go. Probably similar this year.

Here's mine. The pine cone and holly and mistletoe molds cost £1.11p from Amazon, as opposed to the identical things from Lakeland at £12.

Wow. Those are both brilliant. Mine's very bland in comparison. @TrickyD I love those pine cones.

Thanks Onestep. I liked the Lakeland molds but the price was ridiculous. I discovered that you need to dip the molds in cornflour, knock off the excess, then put the filled molds in the freezer to harden the fondant icing, otherwise they stick and you don't get a clear imprint. I am rather pleased with the effect. (Un-mumsnetty boast 😁)

These put mine to shame (it’s got marzipan on it, will be iced tomorrow as I ran out of icing sugar).
I tend to go with peaked royal icing, with some edible glitter on top.
