Today I am sharing how I like to organise, prep and freeze elements of our Christmas dinner in advance to make the day run …
A great video and yes – would love more Christmas prep videos 😊

Thanks for another incredibly helpful cooking video, Kerry! This is SUCH a good idea to get ahead on things early! How long would you cook the carrots and parsnips if you were cooking them from frozen and how long if cooking them thawed? Thank you so much!
Oh wow amazing advice thank you so much, have ordered the bags as I like BPA free. We freeze a lot of cooked and left over food and I often wonder about using plastic bags being bad for the environment. Also as a survivor (2 years) of mouth cancer I do tend to prefer BP A free products. Yes please to more of the same amazing prep tips, and where do you buy your scented thyme please? Have never seen it before, thanks again we feel really festive now. Might put the christmas tree up this week 🎄🎅😅xx
Hi Kerry – do the silicone bags take on the flavour of the food eg onions/garlic or do you keep separate ones for savoury and sweet foods?
Do potatoes need to be cooled down before we add them to bag and freeze them straight away?
Amazing vlog, thanks Kerry❤. Hope you and the family have a great week. Xx
Excellent video again ! Thanks Kerry !
Great video, thank you. I'll def be trying these
Wow, nice…I just need more of this 🙌❤️. Thank you
Excellent Kerry & what great time saving ideas. Will certainly give them a go.
Great video Kerry xx
I didn’t know you could freeze veg without blanching first, wow
Thank you, I didn’t know you could freeze the veg without blanching first, going to do this definitely xxx
Brilliant video, so helpful! Thank you so much for all the tips ❤️
Such brilliant ideas to get ahead and also to free some space in the fridge as everything is tucked away in the freezer. Brilliant! Thank you xx 🎄
More christmas prep please. Really useful!
I always roast my potatoes and parsnip the day before and reheat on Christmas day. Works a treat!
The batch lady does this
Love this video Kerry.
As a Fibro warrior, all the rushing around on Christmas Day can leave me in a lot of pain. Therefore, I cook my turkey and beef in advance, carve them and freeze them in gravy.
I then take them out on Christmas Eve and pop them into slow cookers on Christmas Day. I end up with super soft meat that’s packed full of flavour.
I also make and freeze my stuffing balls in advance.
THANK YOU 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 This video was the kick I needed to get into the mood. So much has happened this year, that Christmas was firmly on a back burner. How do you make your mince pies? I wouldn't mind watching you make some.
Brilliant video thank you for sharing it x
Excellent! Thanks Kerry.x
This is really helping me out! Got loads of people on both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day so need to do loads of prep. Would love to see more ideas on this. Thank you! ❤
I must admit I keep my carrots and parsnips whole, just top and tail them without peeling. I don't cut up the potatoes either. Sprouts are the part of the meal I leave till the end as they're my favourite bit although my husband calls them the devil's testicles. The ones on the stalk will keep growing if you put the stick in water. You've made me hungry now 😋
Thank goodness for other non-peelers!
Love this video!🥰Yes please to more Christmas prep, starters or desserts?
Do you have any ideas for nice party food or nibbly bits? I love your recipes, so down to earth and relatable!
Hi Kerry, we’re going out for Christmas dinner this year, any ideas for something light in the evening? We’re having a buffet Christmas Eve so I was trying to think of an alternative.
Thank you so much as always for your fantastic video.
I’m going to prep for future Sunday roast dinners xxxc
What brilliant ideas! I wouldn’t have thought to prep the veggies and freeze but what a good idea, who wants to be peeling and chopping on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day morning, gives you so much more time with the family!
We like to have ‘picky bits’ on Christmas Eve, have you got any ideas for bite size savoury nibbles? Thank you x
What a brilliant video Kerry, I never realized you could freeze carrots & parsnips without blanching, or even your par boiled potatoes (although I should have lol). I've got my christmas turkey, boxing day roast beef, stuffing balls, pigs in blankets all in the freezer ready to go, I've been organizing for a couple of week, thanks to you, I can get the veg done as well. I've still to buy a ham 🙄.I can't thank you enough for these terrific ideas. Thank you soooo much for sharing xx
Please can you share your turkey recipe from malellisxx
