We've given you the starter, main, and now it's time for the final event - the perfect festive dessert and wine! ❄️ Master of Wine, Eugene Mlynczyk MW is here to share his love of ice wine, perfectly paired with baked brie and honey, or a fruit tart. 🍎🍇 🤔 What will you be serving up this festive season?

If wine isn't your vibe, or you'd rather go non-alcoholic, then there are plenty of alternative drinks for the holidays! Mocktinis are one of our favourites, and only require two ingredients! 🍸 Grab 100ml non alcoholic vodka, or we recommend Seedlip Drinks Garden 108, and 50ml olive brine. Pour into a cocktail shaker with some ice and shake for 20 seconds, strain into a chilled glass, garnish, and serve. Simple, yet delicious.😍 What are your favourite celebratory drinks? The team will be sharing theirs next week, so keep an eye out on our socials to find out what tickles their taste buds.🍷

We've heard the team's favourite holidays, but how do they all like to celebrate? 🍾 👨🍳🚶♀️For some, it's all about the food (and even the shape it comes in), for others it's about enjoying nature with a family walk. Hear what Michele Nguyen-Ngoc, Ellie L., Ieva Dirsiene and Laura Porter, CWO will be getting up to in the next few weeks. How do you like to spend your favourite holiday of the year?
