Mary Berry’s Christmas Special

Mary Berry will return to our screens for a Christmas cooking show.
The queen of baking will be back on screens over the festive season with a BBC Christmas special, ‘Mary Berry’s Royal Christmas’, which will see the must-loved cook entertain celebrity guests as they cook up classic Yuletide dishes.
With over 60 years of cooking experience, the 84-year-old star is a BBC favourite and previously fronted kitchen extravaganza ‘Mary Berry’s Christmas Party’ in December 2018.
According to The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre TV column, the latest cooking special has already started filming and will air on BBC One this December.
After meeting with Queen Elizabeth at the Chelsea Flower Show in 2017, the former ‘Bake Off’ queen will treat her guests to festive recipes both loved and disliked by the royal family over the centuries.
Speaking to in 2017, Mary said: "The greatest memory I had was to go to Buckingham Palace. What a pleasure it was to see her."
Mary previously revealed she wraps her Christmas turkey in a sleeping bag to keep it warm when she travels to her daughter’s house for the traditional family meal.
She said: "For the past couple of years, I’ve been to my children and I always take the turkey, which people think is odd. I went to my daughter Annabel’s last year.
"She cooks most of the things, but I cook the turkey.
"It’s an hour away, so I cook it in my own oven but then it’s done a couple of hours early so I wrap it in foil, cover it in a sleeping bag then stick it in the boot of the car."
Mary may well have needed her sleeping bag to get some shut-eye in earlier this year when she jetted off to Morocco and Italy to shoot ‘Mary Berry’s Quick Cooking’, which saw her explore the delights of musical festival delicacies.
A source said at the time: "It’s Mary Berry as we’ve never seen her before and audiences are going to love every minute.
"She is a dream to work with and will pretty much say yes to all of the team’s wacky ideas. It’s refreshing to see such an established personality up for reinventing herself."
