From roast turkey sweets to a Christmas dinner sundae – here are the strangest ways to enjoy the festive flavours this year
WE reveal the most weird and wonderful ways that you can enjoy all the falvours of Christmas dinner without actually eating Christmas dinner...
CHRISTMAS dinner usually means two days of running around like a headless chicken, peeling spuds, basting turkeys and soaking Christmas puddings.
