Kirstie's Handmade Christmas

One-off special in which Kirstie Allsopp applies her craft skills to the festive season. She meets natural beauty experts making luxurious presents using ingredients found in the kitchen. She also shows how to create pop-up Christmas cards, demonstrates how to decorate festive windows, makes sparkly magic wands and explores the creative possibilities of plaster of paris. There are also handy hints on how to make the most of leftover Christmas panettone, how to create retro cocktails and crafting stylish napkins for the table, offering up enough festive crafts, tricks and inspiration to help everyone all celebrate the magic of Christmas.

Kirstie Allsopp presents a special peak-time episode of the daytime craft show, offering a guide to home-made creations to make Christmas a bit more special, from decorations to food and drink. Among the ideas featured in the show are recipes for handmade cheese and candied pecans, as well as two different festive cocktails with bitters. Kirstie's suggestions for projects include an alternative to the traditional tree that will not shed pine needles, a frozen ice bucket, and a selection of dazzling decorations.

Kirstie brings the sparkle as she shares her fabulously festive creations, including bespoke Christmas crackers, a mesmerizing bottle for your favourite tipple and luxurious celebratory food and drink.

Kirstie embraces a wintery theme and is let loose on a block of ice, before she makes some festive wire decorations, miniature walnut dioramas and a choux pastry wreath.

From stained-glass snowflakes to tree-topping horses, Kirstie makes more joyful creations and gives Festive HQ a glow-up. But which of her crafty helpers' decorations will be the star of her display?
