## Friday, 1st December: 



### Master A Great Hot Chocolate 



  

A good hot chocolate comes down to the ingredients, and we love the festive options from [Knoops](https://knoops.co.uk/) and [Hotel Chocolat](https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=etT1jgERWYw&mid=43303&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hotelchocolat.com%2Fuk). Even if you’re going for a classic Cadbury’s mix, elevate it by popping both your milk and chocolate powder into a milk frother. Not only does it heat and blend the milk and chocolate together, it also makes the drink ultra-velvety and smooth. Serve it in a festive mug and finish off with marshmallows and cream. A twist on a classic hot chocolate, try with [this](https://www.tiktok.com/@mancavebartender/video/7177104376664689925?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7051623131228227077) Lindt Reindeer Hot Chocolate recipe. Drink it quickly and top it with whipped cream – add a little Bailey’s if you fancy it.

 

## Saturday, 2nd December: 



### VISIT THE CHRISTMAS LIGHTS 



  

While there are plenty of ways to spend your money right now, strolling the most festive areas in town to see the Christmas lights is both free and full of joy. While Oxford and Regent Streets are an obvious choice, we also recommend visiting Carnaby Street and Covent Garden. Plus, you may only be able to window shop, but London's department stores have some of the best installations. Check out Fortnum &amp; Mason, Selfridges and Harrods.

 

## Sunday, 3rd December: 



### HAVE A Harry Potter Movie Marathon 



  

Nothing says Christmas like a Harry Potter movie marathon. With all eight movies now available on [Netflix](https://www.netflix.com/gb/title/60004478), get into some festive PJs, make a hot chocolate (see above) and enjoy.

 

## Monday, 4th December: 



### BUY SOME Festive PJs 



  

New festive PJs are a mandatory part of the festive run-up. This year, there are some great options on the high street. Go for something silky from [Topshop](https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=etT1jgERWYw&mid=35718&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.asos.com%2Ftopshop%2F) or [H&amp;M](https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=etT1jgERWYw&mid=43250&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww2.hm.com%2Fen_gb%2Findex.html) or something soft and cosy from [M&amp;S](https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=1402&awinaffid=69421&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.marksandspencer.com%2F).

 

## Tuesday, 5th December: 



### MAKE A Gingerbread House 



  

It’s now easier than ever to make your own gingerbread house at home, thanks to [Flying Tiger](https://flyingtiger.com/). With kits that make it effortless, all you need is to get your friends together and pop on some festive tunes.

 

## Wednesday, 6th December: 



### LISTEN TO A Christmas Playlist 



  

There are plenty of great Christmas playlists out there, but [this one](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3oxaXCM8yo5qZrGkhsOAEG?si=99df27d4aecb43bd) is a favourite. Featuring classics from Michael Bublé, you can also expect festive pop anthems from Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande.

 

## Thursday, 7th December: 



### enjoy A Festive Breakfast 



  

If you love granola, fruit and yogurt in the mornings, a few simple tweaks such as a dash of cinnamon, a zesting or orange or seasonal fruits will help get your everyday brekkie feel a little more festive.

 

## Friday, 8th December: 



### VISIT A Christmas Market 



  

For the best snacks, rides, music and drinks, a Christmas Market is always a great way to spend time with friends or loved ones. Winter Wonderland is a classic in London, but others like the market at Battersea Power Station or Southbank also deserve a visit.

 

## Saturday, 9th December: 



### WATCH The Holiday 



  

No Christmas countdown is complete without at least one screening of this iconic movie. To upgrade your viewing experience, invest in an Amazon projector to get that cinema-feel from home.

 

## Sunday, 10th December: 



### give A DIY Garland a go 



  

One of the easiest, most affordable ways to decorate your home is to create some orange garlands. To do it, you’ll need a bag of oranges, sliced into 2-3in rounds. To dry them, pop them on a baking sheet in the oven at around 130°C for around two hours. Once cooled, attach them to some ribbon or string – there are plenty of affordable options on Amazon – and tie them up around your home.

 

## Monday, 11th December: 



### TRY THESE Festive Treats 



  

If going "out-out" isn't \*quite\* your idea of a good time, another option is to get the girls around for a festive 'Girl Dinner'. M&amp;S always nails its festive ranges so it's the place to go to kit out your next get-together. While [Percy Pigs](https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=etT1jgERWYw&mid=50474&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ocado.com%2Fproducts%2Fm-s-percy-pig-and-his-festive-helpers-565578011) are a classic, we’re keen to try snacks like Reindeer Bao Buns, [Gingerbread Shortbread](https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=etT1jgERWYw&mid=50474&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ocado.com%2Fproducts%2Fm-s-all-butter-mini-gingerbread-biscuits-563498011) and festive nut butter this year.

 

## Tuesday, 12th December: 



### GO Ice Skating 



  

Whether you visit Somerset house, Jo Malone’s [Glide](https://glidebatterseapowerstation.co.uk/) at Battersea Power Station or Greenwich, or Canary Wharf’s rinks – there are so many options for an afternoon of ice skating in London.

### BakE Gingerbread 



  

**Ingredients:**

- 225g of plain flour, plus extra for dusting
- A pinch of salt
- 2 tsp of bicarbonate of soda
- A pinch of ground ginger &amp; cinnamon
- 75g of unsalted butter
- 100g of soft brown sugar
- 100g of golden syrup

**Method:**

1. Heat oven to 190°C/170°C Fan/Gas 5 and line a baking tray with baking parchment. Sieve the flour, salt, bicarb, ginger and cinnamon into a large bowl. Heat the butter, sugar and syrup until dissolved. Leave the sugar mixture to cool slightly, then mix into the dry ingredients to form a dough. Chill the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes.
2. On a surface lightly dusted with flour, roll out the dough to a ¼-in thickness. Stamp out the gingerbread men shapes with a cutter, then re-roll any off-cuts and repeat. Place your gingerbread shapes on the lined trays, allowing space for them to spread. Cook for 10-15 minutes, then remove from the oven and leave to cool.
