Fabulous food and glowing gin

Light Up Spiced Sugar Plum Snow Globe Gin Liqueur, M&S, £10
It’s not just a gin globe... this is an M&S gin globe - and it glows too. You can also shake up a bit of festive sparkle, as it contains edible silver leaf that creates a magical winter scene when you jiggle the bottle, while the gin itself has the comforting taste of a warm mince pie.
Infusionist Morello Cherry Gold Flake Gin Liqueur, Aldi, £13.99
Just like millions of Christmas trees across the nation, this festively-shaped gin lights up - simply press the button at the base of the bottle to get it glowing green. Aldi recommend serving the drink neat over ice or teamed with tonic and garnished with a cherry.
