Kirstie’s Handmade Christmas 2026 and 2027 is officially happening, and honestly, we can’t stop smiling about it. Channel 4 has just confirmed that Kirstie Allsopp is coming back for not one but two more festive seasons, and if you’re anything like us, you’re already reaching for the glue gun. Grab a mulled wine, because this is the kind of Christmas news we live for.

What Is Kirstie’s Handmade Christmas 2026 and 2027?

Kirstie’s Handmade Christmas 2026 and 2027 is here. Channel 4 has confirmed not one but TWO brand new series of the nation’s favourite crafting competition. We’re already digging out the glitter glue. This is the kind of Christmas news we live for.

Produced by Glasgow’s Raise the Roof Productions, the first series is a five-part daytime format. Expect cosy competition, festive drama, and plenty of Christmas magic. Just the way we like it.

Who’s Hosting Kirstie’s Handmade Christmas?

Who else but the Queen of Christmas crafting herself, Kirstie Allsopp. You’ll know her best from her property expert days, but come the festive season, Kirstie swaps house viewings for hot glue guns. She’s once again taking the reins as host, and if her track record is anything to go by, expect equal parts warmth, wit and impressive crafting knowledge.

What Can We Expect From the New Series?

Buckle up, because this series is packed. A group of brilliantly talented contestants will go head-to-head across a run of festive challenges. Think show-stopping Christmas wreaths, indulgent homemade Christmas cakes and beautifully handcrafted toys, plus plenty more surprises along the way. Every single creation gets put to good use too, helping transform Christmas HQ ahead of Kirstie’s big end-of-series celebration.

And it doesn’t stop there. Each hour-long episode sees genuine experts step in to judge the crafters’ work, and several of them will even share their own favourite homemade craft hacks. So even if your idea of “handmade” currently starts and ends with a Christmas cracker, there’s something here to steal for your own celebrations.

Kirstie herself gets stuck in too, popping up between challenges with a run of gorgeous, budget-friendly crafts you can actually make at home.
