Christmas Podding: Day 6 – The Great Yorkshire Pudding Debate 🎄

Video

Welcome back to the We Do Grotto, where today we’re tackling the big questions – the kind that could divide a room and shake up the festive season. Ready? Should Yorkshire puddings be part of Christmas dinner?

Here’s the verdict:

  • Yorkshire puddings with Christmas dinner? One of us would have them with Frosties if allowed (yes, really). Bigger is definitely better when it comes to these golden beauties.
  • Pigs in blankets? The undisputed champion of the Christmas plate – no debate necessary.
  • Sprouts? Overcooked and ignored no longer! Butter, chestnuts, bacon, pine nuts… zhuzh them up, and they’re a festive favourite.
  • Red cabbage, honey-glazed carrots, and parsnips? Essential supporting players for the ultimate Christmas feast.

But beyond the dinner table, Christmas is also about connection. That’s why we’re excited to introduce We Do Communities in 2025 – a space for building networks and finding like-minded people in your sector or role.
