Champagne Christmas Eve or day? Or both?

[MsMiaWallace]

Do you save the special stuff for the main day or have it before?

Both, why not 😁

Both

Oh and New Year's Eve

If you can afford it both days, why not. Although there are some great (cheaper) cremants that might be a touch different.

If both is even an option, then the answer is obviously both!

I didn't have this in mind as a thing, wonderful!

No champagne on Xmas eve as its always too busy and I can't cope with a hangover on Xmas morning.

We have champagne from breakfast onwards though on Xmas day. It's what gets me through the hours until we emerge on the other side.

Though 2020 and no guests was lovely, we drank champagne all day for all the right reasons.

From boxing day it's Cremant until we have champagne again on new years eve.

This is just us and parents though, no other guests or parties.

Christmas eve is christmas for me. So most definitely champagne then. And of course on christmas day, boxing day etc etc.
🤪

Neither. I don't like it

Xmas eve, as it's our treat before the madness of xmas day.

We get this kids to bed and settle down with champagne and nibbles. Xmas day I dont tend to drink too much and what i do drink is spread across the whole day.

Mulled wine xmas eve, bucks fizz xmas day breakfast, champagne the rest of the day.

All over the Xmas period. I have bottles chilling in wine fridge.

All of Christmas Eve (whilst prepping), and all day Christmas Day, starting with a bottle whilst we open presents.

Basically the entire season...

@Strokethefurrywall and why not- think I’ll adopt this 😁

@snowmanshoes - to mix it up, I'll have a Baileys Xmas eve whilst putting the stuff under the tree and dipping a chocolate orange into it!

It's Christmas so definitely both 😁

@Strokethefurrywall 🤣🤣 love it….
adds it to list of ‘must do’s’

Christmas day with lunch, and then also on New Year's Eve. Christmas Eve is mulled wine!

Both for me although Xmas eve I might do a nice high end Cava. Xmas morning I crack open the champers around 11 am and get tiddly making the dinner. Always turns out fab. I think hehe

Boxing Day for us, but that’s because DH is a vicar and is usually comatose by Christmas afternoon 😆 (with exhaustion, not communion wine)

I always have a bottle on Xmas eve. I love it. Feels like a nice treat.

I couldn't be bothered cooking if I'd been drinking from early morning! I'd be persuading everybody to just have cheese and crackers and have the turkey the next day.

Start Christmas Eve around 7pm when everything is ready and we sit down with a bottle and a load of M&S party food and a Christmas candle lit.
Then we basically continue until New Year. I do love a cremant though and I’ve heard good things about Aldi’s so I might have to taste test that before Christmas

Champagne christmas day and New year's eve, we have snowballs ond christmas eve

Definitely both, although like PP I do love a snowball, but that’s generally Boxing Day with a good film. Champagne is an acceptable breakfast food on Christmas Day (on any day but Christmas and birthdays are the only ones we start like that sadly)
