Christmas activities 2020: Get in the spirit regardless of your tier

The Independent  

Who knew when we counted down the seconds into the roaring Twenties last New Year’s Eve that we would be entering an unprecedented year of turmoil, challenges and endless Zoom quizzes? Although it's been said “many times, many ways” just as Nat King Cole sang, it’s true that this year’s Christmas will be different from the norm. Enter our round-up of the best Christmas wreaths, in which our tester praised Bloom & Wild’s offering and noted that the brand also has “a DIY wreath kit, including a base, festive foliage, stems and lots of decorations”. Full of illustrations, the book explains the origins of Father Christmas, with our tester praising Alan Snow’s “folkloric storytelling and gorgeous illustration”, adding that it’s likely children will “fall in love” with it. Food writer Felicity Cloake heralded Nigella Christmas: Food, Family, Friends, Festivities by Nigella Lawson as her top choice, praising Lawson’s “irreverent approach to Christmas” and noting the gingerbread stuffing as her favourite recipe.
