Steps:
- Tip the icing sugar, vanilla extract, egg yolk and butter into a mixing bowl, then stir together with a wooden spoon (or pulse in a food processor until well combined). Add the flour and mix to a firm dough. Shape the dough into two flat discs and wrap them. Chill for 20-30 mins. Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5 and line two baking sheets with non-stick baking paper.
- Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about the thickness of two £1 coins. Cut out Christmassy shapes (use a cutter if you like) and place on the baking sheets. Using the tip of a skewer, cut a small hole in the top of each cookie. Bake for 10-12 mins until lightly golden.
- Lift the biscuits onto a wire rack to cool. Meanwhile, mix the icing sugar with a few drops of cold water to make a thick, but still runny icing. Colour with edible food colouring, if you like. Spread it over the cooled biscuits, decorate with edible balls and thread with ribbon when dry.

- Taste the punch and if you think it needs another half bottle of champagne, extra 7Up, extra juice, etc, add it to taste. This is a very flexible recipe.
- I prefer to add ice to individual glasses rather than to the punch bowl as to not allow the punch bowl to become watered down as the ice melts.

- Holiday Sugar Cookies. Sugar cookies are usually one of my least favorite cookies. I can appreciate simplicity, but I like my cookies with big chunks of chocolate, nuts, or fruit in them.
- Mashed Potatoes. Potatoes are the best vegetable; they are very plain, but so versatile. People have strong opinions on the best form of potatoes, but mashed potatoes will always be at the top for me.
- Apple Cider. Apple cider is a general fall food, but a warm, spiced cider fits perfectly into a Christmas meal. Cold, hot, or sparkling, it complements all the holiday flavors of cinnamon, allspice, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg.
- Cranberry Sauce. Cranberry sauce is quite an odd food when you think about it. However, no Christmas dinner would be complete without a huge dish of cranberry sauce to accompany the meat.
- Stuffing. Stuffing can also be a hit or miss. If it’s just dried bread with seasoning, celery, and onions, I find it quite boring and don’t think it adds much to a meal.
- Gingerbread Man Cookies. Gingerbread cookies are always so cute, but they also can be a hit or miss. A soft, chewy cookie is heaven on a plate, but if it is crisp like a ginger snap, it’s not doing its job.
- Ham. Although the holiday meat is technically the main part of the meal, I never find myself getting too excited for it. I get excited for the cookies and the sides like mashed potatoes.
- Eggnog. I know people have very strong opinions on eggnog, but I am putting it towards the bottom of the list because even if you love eggnog, you can only drink so much of it.
- Candy Canes. Candy canes are always beautiful and mesmerizing to look at, but at the end of the day, they are simply hard sugar with some peppermint extract.
- Fruitcake. Ah, the infamous fruitcake. The gift that is to be re-gifted as many time as it possibly can. I don’t hear of many people buying or baking fruitcakes anymore (and there’s a reason for that), but I think that traditionalists still fight for the cake as a holiday must.
