"I always make a nut roast and a Jamie Oliver trifle. A good nut roast with not too many nuts, but packed with veg! Yum."
Fearne Cotton, who is "90 per cent vegan, 10 per cent veggie"
"Occasionally [my family] have to put up with me meandering my way around [saying], 'Oh, I'm bored of turkey, let's do this!' Eventually they go, 'Oh for God's sake, can't we just go back to turkey?!' Which is a very convenient bird on the grounds that it feeds large amounts of people."
Jay Rayner, who often considers going rogue
"I took one of my sons and two step-kids and my wife Sass to Thailand last Christmas and every other year I have Christmas in Australia – and we do turkey! People go on about, 'Oh well, you wouldn't want that in the middle of summer', but that presupposes you'd never have roast lamb in the summer, and of course, you do."
Rick Stein keeps it traditional Down Under
"I always make mince pies in the shape of Chinese dumplings, because when I spent Christmas in China as a student, we had a big party and I wanted to make mince pies but I didn't have any tins, so I just cut out circles of dough and folded them over like dumplings.
Szechuan cuisine expert Fuchsia Dunlop
"I will still be very conscious of what I eat, but I will go to the gym a lot, I will work out, I will spend a lot of time counterbalancing being able to have Christmas lunch, but come New Year, and the bit in between, I'll be back on it."
Tom Kerridge keeps the overindulging to one day only
"Smoked salmon has become just your average sandwich filling and it's on every supermarket shelf, which is such a shame, because for me, smoked salmon should be for a special occasion. So Christmas Day, we get the best quality smoked salmon and just dress it with maybe a little bit of fresh horseradish and I'll make little blinis, and it's just special – and really simple."
Michel Roux Jr's fishy twist
"During Christmas, we're going to put a bit of weight on anyway, so let's get an Indian, Chinese, Domino's pizza. And then we have a good Christmas meal on the day and then leftovers. Christmas is hard enough as it is without more pressure."
Bake Off winner John Whaite opts for takeaways.
