Last year’s most common Christmas disasters revealed!

The top most common Christmas disasters from last year have been revealed, from burning the turkey, undercooking the roast potatoes and forgetting the gravy, making the list. So what else made the list, here’s the full breakdown here:

A study of 2,000 adults by St Pierre found that the things centred around food with soggy vegetables and undercooked greens both make the top five in the list.

Other mistakes include forgetting vegetarian and vegan alternatives, not having enough plates and running out of wrapping paper.

“It’s safe to say the majority of us have experienced some sort of unplanned mishap at Christmas,” said a spokesperson for St Pierre. “A lot of the list of disasters are food focused because food is such an important part of the occasion and it’s something everyone wants to get right to impress others.

“That said, it’s always useful to have something in the cupboard as back-up and there are clever ways to cheat your way to a magnifique Christmas spread.

“No matter how bad it might feel messing up on Christmas Day, those who have experienced such a thing agree that it’s all part of making memories.”
