A Very Country Christmas

Ellie and Angellica travel to Scotland. They find out why Christmas took a back seat in celebrating the end of the year in Scotland, visit a Christmas tree farm which supplied Downing Street with its tree two years ago and sample a real Scottish delicacy that has people busy baking in December.

To mark Advent, Ellie Harrison and Angellica Bell will celebrate three very different country Christmases in three regions in Britain. In this episode, they travel to the north of England. They visit a town in Yorkshire that inspired Charles Dickens when he was writing A Christmas Carol; they reveal the story behind why many of us eat turkeys at Christmas; and they come across a rather unusual nativity scene.

To mark Advent, Ellie Harrison and Angellica Bell travel to Devon and Cornwall. They find out about the fisherman who saved a village from starvation; visit a donkey sanctuary to discover more about the animal featured in Nativity scenes; and try their hand at making a traditional mistletoe decoration.
