Not sure yet, but I've already been told the one thing it won't be!
Made a porchetta last year. Was absolutely delicious, but the joint was a easy 6kg before any ministrations. The two of us were eating porchetta for the next fortnight!
Although I have to say, porchetta in a french onion soup, or on a home made pizza, is an equally lovely way to enjoy it!

Stuffed roast hen pheasant with traditional trimmings of beef dripping-roasted tatties and root veg, an odd ensconced piglet, and a decent drop of good claret. The gravy made from the giblets, of course.
The other delights are for the days beyond Boxing Day, when we are together with family.

I usually do a duxelles of mushrooms with lots of herbs and butter around the beef or venison

I should clarify that although we are having curry for Christmas dinner, in the 27th we will have a cockerel with all the usual accoutrements (so a trad Christmas meal!!)

christmas day my girlfriend and i will have mussels and fizz cooked on the beach then boxing day will be traditional turkey roast , we alternate this annually to fit with when we have our kids.
i really like turkey done well but i may be out voted in favour of a rib of beef which is no real hardship as i love that as well

Feeling hungry now!!
So, to add a little spice to the mix, what’s your Christmas Eve meal?
We have a household tradition of having KFC and champagne! (Other fried chicken outlets are available) Big family feast job!
No idea how we ended up with this, but it’s a low effort meal before my cooking marathon starts the next day!!

Missus is from Luxembourg, and so we keep to her family's traditional Christmas Eve meal of a cheese fondue
Always massive selection of cured/pickled fish and copious little tots of ice-cold vodka - traditional courtesy of wife's Swedish background
Christmas day often starts with a bucks fizz to clear the head after that
I've eaten loads. Always found them absolutely delicious.

The key is key: ‘Fish’ ‘ n fizz, - the latter a good English sparkling.
Possibly/probably a good Polish vodka to wash down the buckwheat blinis.
Used to have (imported!) plain bugles with the cream cheese in, dip of egg and a few ‘sprinkles’ on top, but more latterly the blinis with cheese egg & finely chopped onion with the ‘roe’ takes the prize.
A quail egg and a sliver of carpaccio never did any harm.
Does anyone have a
