For most of us, the festive season is very much about the food, which will fill you with either delight if you love spending time in the kitchen or mild terror if you'd rather just be involved in the "eating" part. We hear you: it's supposed to be a season of fun and celebration with friends and family, not an endurance test that's timed to the minute and leaves you with a huge pile of washing up. Even the most confident cooks need a helping hand sometimes — that's why we've rounded up how your favourite celebrity chefs cook their turkeys [1], and even some vegetarian recipes perfect for Christmas Day [2] — but sometimes what we really want is to sit on the sofa and tuck in. For that, we head straight to Waitrose, which is better at indulgent Christmas treats than just about any other supermarket. We've rounded up our favourite Waitrose Christmas foods (get ready, there are not one but two Heston Christmas puddings), so all you have to do is pick your favourites. Cheers!
