I love, love, *love* Christmas and I thought this book was just perfect, it got me into a holiday mood straight away. Filled with lots of recipes and ideas for things to bake and make, some advanced, others more simple, I'm looking forward to trying several of them. I really enjoyed reading Tanya's thought and advice in the different sections, especially the Reflecting On The Year Gone bit. Very much recommended to all Christmas lovers out there!

I love love love Christmas! I'm one of those people who thinks about it all year round and by December is ridiculously giddy. Tanya's book exudes magic and festive feelings :) It's full of ideas regarding all aspects of the "most wonderful time of the year" and illustrated beautifully. I can't wait to try out some of the yummy recipes. Highly recommended to bring about those warm fuzzy Christmassy vibes.

I have mixed feelings about this book. I loved some of the recipes and I’m keen to try them - although no family or party can eat that many deserts!

I still think life is too short to stamp my own wrapping paper. I like to sleep at some point in the run up to Christmas. I suspect Tanya does not have the traditional 9-5 Mon - Fri job or if she does she has a lot of help.

Her Christmas gift budget is also larger than mine.

I did enjoy flicking through it and getting some ideas for later in the year.

This is a lovely book with Christmas traditions, DIYs, recipes, short essays, and Tanya's own Christmas memories & photos. She even has a dog biscuit recipe she has made for Martha!
The photos are great and the book is organized very well. I am going to try some of the DIYS & recipes when I am home for the Christmas holiday this weekend.

While the book is focused on Christmas, you can make the majority of DIYS & recipes year round for gifts, baking nights, and parties.

I really like this coffee-table book. It's like a Vlogmas in book form, with a light approach and a bit of everything that makes December sparkly and cozy. Imagine Tanya's voice while reading it, haha. Probably works best if you are a fan of Tanya Burr's YouTube channel.

Good to have around for recipes and sheer mood helper many Christmases to come.

One star knocked off for the cover pic with the naked foot, that ain't festive at all 😌

There was a lot more to read in this book than I expected, which was great. It is definitely a great book to make one feel cozy and festive during the Christmas season. There is a lot of great recipe inspiration and most of them have turned out decently. I anticipate this book being one I return to every year to help me make the most of the season.

A lovely Christmas Book that I’ve throughly enjoyed looking through. It’s so nice to read about Tanya’s Christmas memories and her favourite things about Christmas, but there’s also crafts and recipes to try out too which I will definitely be doing. A great festive book by a great woman.

The perfect book to get you into the festive Christmas mood!! All of the pictures are beautifully edited and represent the holiday season so well.

I would have preferred slightly less recipes and more information on interior decorating for the season.

This book is amazeee, so festive and Christmassy (as it should be!). The book has such a lovely spirit, with gorgeous photos and some truly thoughtful ideas. Would make a really lovely gift for someone, or for yourself. Tanya's personality really shines through.

I really loved this book! There are some great Christmas bakes and make-up ideas. It made me feel very festive 🌲❄️

[Stefanie · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this book! So many great ideas that I want to try. I wasn’t the biggest fan of the makeup and outfit sections, but those weren’t the biggest ones.

[ReadWithE · Rating 3 out of 5]

I would have liked this better as a straight cookbook. Didn't get much out of the rest of the content.

[Sarah Lee · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a really nice Christmas book, with lots of recipes, ideas, memories and generally a lovely read to get you in the festive mood. Lots of idea, great to read before planning your own Christmas

[Tânia Sequinho · Rating 5 out of 5]

Amazing, just amazing. It is the perfect book for this time of year, with lots of tips, inspiration and the right words to help us get through the most special time of the year until the first day of the new year. I loved reading it and I know I will be reading it every year for now on.

//Edit: As I said last year, it's impossible to not want to re-read it every year, so I did it this year and I know I will do it next season and more of them in the future.
