More people are planning to swap out the traditional Christmas dinner for alternatives such as steak and chips, pasta, or a takeaway. One poll has found more than a third (36%) of British households are planning to give a Christmas dinner a miss altogether.

There’s also been a surge in Google searches for the term “Christmas takeaway”, and a reported change in attitude towards festive drinks with younger people wanting to drink iced coffee over eggnog.

Will you be changing the turkey for a takeaway? Or put away the parsnips in favour of pizza?
