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.
