Tech giant, Currys, has surveyed the nation to find out what makes the perfect Christmas dinner, drinks, treats, and more in the UK and the results are in!
The results have confirmed that turkey is the traditional centrepiece and has also revealed that we do love brussel sprouts, a lot opt for vegan mains and they would choose a cheese plate for dessert rather than a sweet treat.
The study found that Turkey still reigns with over 54% of those responding claiming this will be featured on the Christmas dinner plate. 22% thought that roast beef or roast chicken with nearly a quarter opting for vegetarian options including stuffed mushrooms, followed by nut roast and veggie Wellington.
The roast potato is non-negotiable at Christmas, followed by pigs in blankets, with Brussel spouts coming in third as the most anticipated trimming by 1 in 10 Brits.
The classic sauce for turkey will still feature with 28% choosing Cranberry sauce, with 16% having mint sauce with the surprise that only 44% said they would be having gracy with their meal.
The study also found that Christmas pudding is still the favourite dessert following the main meal for 26% of Brits. Yuletide desserts also came in as a tasty option with 40% of over 55s highlighting it as their top post-Christmas dinner treat.
Overall, mince pies are the second favourite with 21%, while a cheese board came in third place despite not being a sweet dish.
As for a tipple on the big day, it seems that wine was the top choice with 22%, with Baileys at 15% and champagne or prosecco coming in at 12%.
For one in ten Brits, the first glass of booze is poured as soon as breakfast, the majority choose to remain sober until lunch, with a quarter starting their drinks then and 17% abstain from alcohol entirely, spending the holiday sober.
