For those who want a night before Christmas treat… 

Snuggle up by the fire or in front of the TV and count down to Christmas Day with Bettys Night Before Christmas Gift Box. Including all-butter spiced Christmas and chocolate shortbread, as well as a bag of luxurious hot chocolate made with Venezuelan cocoa beans and Madagascan vanilla, you’ve got everything you need for a cosy night in.

There is nothing better than a high-quality afternoon tea, and Fodder are giving us the gift of not only that, but the chance to celebrate Yorkshire producers too.

Although Cooplands don’t offer a ready-made Christmas hamper, you can easily make one up from their fantastic range of goodies on offer, both online and at their bakeries across the North East and Yorkshire. From deep-filled and brandy mince pies to traditional stollen bites, truffle logs and jolly gingerbread elves, it’s the perfect way to mix and match across their whole range of festive foods for your own perfect hamper.
