Created by The Cornish Company, the festive scone offers a hassle-free alternative to the traditional Christmas dinner. Infused with sage and onion stuffing, the scone serves as the base for a full Christmas meal, allowing customers to layer it with roast turkey, cranberry relish, and gravy.

The idea was born out of research showing that almost half of Brits feel stressed over Christmas dinner, with common worries including timing, keeping food warm, and the post-meal clean-up. The Cornish Company hopes to offer a simpler solution with its £19.99 Christmas Dinner scone hamper, which includes four stuffing-infused scones, hand-sliced turkey, cranberry relish, and white wine and herb gravy.

Launched last week, the first batch of Christmas Dinner scones sold out in less than 48 hours, sparking excitement and surprise on the company’s social media channels. Some customers are eager to give the festive creation a try. “Well, this definitely is worth a go! Just ordered,” one user said. Another added, “Just ordered. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.”

However, not everyone is convinced. One person reacted with disbelief: “This is surely a crime?!” Another simply commented, “Yuk.”

Tom Woodley, founder of The Cornish Company, explained the thinking behind the creation. “There are few things better in life than tucking into your Christmas dinner surrounded by those nearest and dearest to you,” he said. “With the festive season in full swing, we wanted to give people the opportunity to sample the joy of a Christmas dinner a few weeks early and in a single bite.”

Woodley, whose company is based in Cornwall, believes the scone is a fun way to experience Christmas dinner without the usual stress. “The scone is cost-effective and totally stress-free to create,” he said. “We can’t wait for people to try our creation. Who knows, maybe scones will become an unmissable treat around the dinner table this Christmas!”

For many, the Christmas Dinner scone could be a game-changer, offering a new way to enjoy the holiday meal without the pressure of cooking a full feast. To order your own Christmas Dinner scone hamper, visit The Cornish Company’s website.

Venison Wellington Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 venison loin portions (approximately 120g each)
• 320g sheet of all-butter puff pastry
• 1 egg yolk (for egg wash)
• For the Crepe:
  • 1 egg
  • 150ml milk
  • 50g flour
• For the Mushroom Duxelles:
  • 4 large flat cap mushrooms
  • 1 shallot
  • 1 garlic clove
  • A sprinkle of thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste

   • Finely chop the mushrooms, shallot, and garlic.
   • Heat oil in a pan and gently fry the shallot and garlic until translucent.
   • Add the mushrooms and thyme, and cook until the mushrooms release their water and it evaporates. Season with salt and pepper.
   • Once cooked, spread the mixture on a tray to cool quickly.
3. Venison:
   • Season the venison loins and sear them in a hot pan, ensuring all sides are browned.
   • Cool the venison quickly in the fridge or freezer for 10 minutes to prevent overcooking when wrapped.
4. Assembling the Wellington:
   • Place one crepe on a flat surface, spread half the mushroom duxelles on top, and place the venison on top of the mushrooms.
   • Fold the crepe around the venison to create a parcel.
   • Roll out the puff pastry and cut a piece large enough to wrap the venison parcel.
   • Lightly egg wash the pastry, place the venison parcel in the centre, and fold the pastry over. Crimp the edges or tuck them in for a neat finish.
   • Brush the top with more egg wash and refrigerate for 10 minutes before applying a second coat of egg wash.
5. Cooking:
   • Preheat the oven to 200-210°C (fan oven: 180-190°C).
   • Bake the Wellington for 14 minutes, or until golden brown, then flip it over and cook for an additional 2 minutes to crisp the bottom.
   • Allow the Wellington to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving with the pickled walnut ketchup.

This Venison Wellington with pickled walnut ketchup is a wonderful way to bring seasonal flavours to your Christmas dinner.

Nearly half (46%) of pet owners plan to hang stockings filled with goodies for their pets, while the same percentage will place gifts under the tree. Two-thirds (59%) will even cook a special Christmas lunch for their pets, with 58% opting for turkey and vegetables. Almost half (48%) will go the extra mile and set a place for their pets at the family table.

The festive spending doesn’t stop there—UK pet owners are splurging an average of £77 per pet, filling stockings with an average of eight gifts. Popular presents include edible treats (69%), squeaky toys (43%), and chew toys (32%), alongside stuffed toys, collars, new outfits, and cosy blankets.

For some pets, Christmas is also about experiences, with 9% enjoying a walk to their favourite spot and 6% receiving a pampering trip to the groomer.

Neil Rogers from M&S Pet Insurance said:

“Christmas is a time to treat the ones we love and show them how much they mean to us, so it’s great to see that so many pets, who bring us so much joy day-to-day, will be included in the festivities.”

However, festive cheer can sometimes lead to chaos. Two-thirds (66%) of pet owners have experienced a “pet-related disaster” during the holidays, including knocked-over Christmas trees (41%), unwrapped presents (37%), and stolen food (36%). Alarmingly, 12% have had to rush their pets to the vet for emergencies, such as eating chocolates or other hazardous items.

Despite these risks, a quarter (25%) of pet owners don’t have insurance, leaving them vulnerable to unexpected vet bills. Neil Rogers added:

“Taking out insurance – and selecting a policy that’s right for you and your pet – can provide peace of mind for pet owners. This is especially worth considering at this time of year, when there are often more potential pet hazards around the home.”

Hollywood Bowl, the UK’s leading ten-pin bowling and family leisure brand, is keen to set the record straight ahead of its busiest time of year. To encourage families to embrace the festive spirit, Hollywood Bowl has launched a range of novelty Christmas socks to raise funds for its national charity partner, Macmillan Cancer Support.

The research showed that 63% of adults prefer bowling in their own shoes, with 58% saying it makes them feel more confident and 53% feeling more stylish. Among parents with children under 18, 92% said they’d be more likely to go bowling if they knew they could wear their own shoes, with 71% citing it as a simpler, hassle-free option.

Dave Williams, Operations Director at Hollywood Bowl, said: “Whether you like them or loathe them, traditional bowling shoes are a nostalgic throwback to ten-pin bowling’s Christmas past. As this research shows, many people still believe they must wear shared footwear to enjoy some bowling fun with family and friends.

“With novelty socks continuing to be one of the most popular gifts at Christmas, our Santa Strikes Again holiday hosiery will hopefully raise a smile on the lanes this festive season, whilst also raising donations for Macmillan Cancer Support, an important cause close to our team’s hearts.”

The limited-edition socks are festive green, featuring ten-pins in Santa hats and the slogan “Santa Strikes Again”. They are available for £5 at Hollywood Bowl centres nationwide throughout December, with all proceeds going to Macmillan Cancer Support.

To book your Christmas bowling session or learn more about offers at your local centre, visit the Hollywood Bowl website at www.hollywoodbowl.co.uk. While festive socks are optional, flat, closed-toe shoes are always welcome on the lanes.
