How to Host Christmas Without Losing Your Mind (or Your Money) | Ep 25
In today’s festive-but-very-real episode, I’m breaking down how to host Christmas without the chaos… or the overspending. Especially if you’re doing it in a smaller home or it’s your first Christmas in a new place.
I’m sharing the exact things I picked up from shops like The Range, Dunelm, B&M, Home Bargains and Aldi, and what genuinely made a difference to creating a cosy Christmas atmosphere without blowing the December budget. Expect honest talk about what you actually need as a host vs. the Pinterest-perfect things Instagram convinces you to buy.
We’ll chat through:
✨ Budget-friendly décor that elevates your space for less
✨ Money-saving tips like planning ahead, using what you already have, and asking family to bring small bits (biscuits, snacks, drinks anything that helps!)
✨ Hosting when your kitchen isn’t huge and how to avoid Christmas-day chaos
✨ Realistic timelines for cooking, cleaning, prepping and not losing your mind in the process
Plus, I’m sharing the games we’re playing this year, including the family quiz I’m hosting and a Christmas music quiz that always ends in tears of laughter. It’s practical, funny, stress-saving and perfect for anyone hosting Christmas for the first time or just wanting a calmer, cosier festive day.
