In just 20 days, many of us would have sat around the dinner table inside our Christmas party.
Festive food is an easy part to enjoy – but it’s hard to organize and cook, especially if you can’t get your hands on a turkey or Christmas pudding.
This year is even harder due to restrictions in supermarkets.
Throughout the first lockout, stores saw hundreds of customers queuing outside to enter stores, resulting in people making their own grocery stores online.
