Festive twists on Christmas classics – everything from turkey and ham to salmon and showstopping desserts

Proof that tradition doesn’t have to be boring – this turkey is dressed to impress - (Ocado)

Christmas is a time for indulgence. But while tradition holds firm, there’s always room for a little reinvention, a twist that makes the feast feel fresh.

Take this recipe for roast turkey with figs, port and Seville orange marmalade. It’s the centrepiece reimagined, the sweet and tangy glaze lifting the bird into new realms of flavour, while the figs and rich roasting juices ensure every bite is worth savouring. For something simpler but equally satisfying, there’s a pigs in blankets traybake – a one-pan wonder that pairs crispy bacon and golden veg for a no-fuss crowd-pleaser.
