Always nakes me feel mine's messy! But love it.

Boudy · 18/12/2025 20:55

Nothing to see here....Yet!😀

LoveHartnett · 18/12/2025 21:03

We only have tiny fridge and not hosting this year so mine is a boring empty void Angry

I’ve been wondering where the Christmas fridge thread was! Shopping tomorrow then I’ll post a pic of mine x

gingercat02 · 18/12/2025 21:12

Not yet! Normal shop plus extras on Saturday morning. Full Christmas shop lunchtime Christmas Eve. Cheese and booze ordered separately.
Love the 🌲 Fridge Thread

Sunshineandgrapefruit · 18/12/2025 21:25

Same. Giving mine the deep cleanse this weekend in preparation 🥳

NoWordForFluffy · 18/12/2025 21:26

Ours won't be complete until Christmas Eve...I'll be slowly filling it until then!

LunaDeBallona · 18/12/2025 21:30

Is this the Christmas fridge thread then? Or does the same person start it every year??
Dint want to miss it as it will give me something to look at on Christmas Day when the day turns to shit due to autistic husband and daughter having g meltdowns.

Asking for a friend……..

Tiny fridge solidarity. I just like looking at everyone else’s mountains of cheese and tubs of cream and pretending that’s my life too.

gingercat02 · 18/12/2025 23:24

@JonSnow12cheese is much happier not in the fridge so don't worry

It’s usually on the Christmas board, not in Chat. Definitely not trying to police, just posting for info!

It normally starts to ramp up the day before Xmas Eve. I’m looking forward to seeing the fridge packing skills, love seeing what’s been purchased and how it’s all stacked.

mondaytosunday · 19/12/2025 00:53

Too early! Not bought any Christmas food yet (it’s on order).

caringcarer · 19/12/2025 02:43

It's a bit too early for the Xmas fridge thread surely? Things would have gone off before Xmas.

I hadn't noticed it was in Chat. I've reported to see if it can be moved, else we will end up with two threads (though what's not to like about TWO Christmas fridge threads?!).

KimMumsnet · 19/12/2025 13:53

Hello! We've moved this thread to the Christmas board now and await your Tetris-stacked fridge photos!

Catpiece · 19/12/2025 13:56

Just spent ages doing the annual fridge jenga. Can you give me points out of 10 for skill?

NoWordForFluffy · 19/12/2025 13:59

Where's the booze, @Catpiece? Looking good so far, but I think you need about 50% more food to really get your Tetris game on. Xmas Grin

Catpiece · 19/12/2025 14:03

@NoWordForFluffy Ah ok. My dh doesn’t drink and I keep my beers in a separate cupboard (I don’t like them cold 😱). Ds2 has a box of beers in the hallway. Wine doesn’t love me but I do have some bottles 🤭

Phew. Not a dry Christmas all round then! Xmas Smile

Catpiece · 19/12/2025 14:06

@NoWordForFluffy God, no. All extended family like drinking. It’s just dh that got fed up with it years ago. In fact I’m going to crack open a lager a bit later x

Purplewarrior · 22/12/2025 08:31

@Catpieceis that a tin of spam in your fridge?

Catpiece · 22/12/2025 08:47

@Purplewarrior Yeh! It’s been there since the 50s

YorkieTheRabbit · 22/12/2025 10:41

Love the annual fridge thread Grin
I'll upload a photo once my butcher order arrives. There won’t be any booze in it as there’s a separate fridge for that 🍺 🍷 🥂

bonesandbooth2025 · 22/12/2025 11:21

Mine isn’t very festive! Few pics of the stuff I got
bloody medication fills up too much of the fridge Angry
the custard split as I got it out the bag so that’s going to be eat over the next couple of days
there is a pork joint behind the beef too

There are a few threads already. I’ve never actually seen the inside of people’s fridges before though 😆🙈 lol
