What time should I start cooking Christmas dinner? Timings for everything from turkey to sprouts

While the majority of UK households enjoy a Sunday roast week in week out, there is nothing that compares to the coveted Christmas dinner and accompanying spread that we get to enjoy once a year.

However, for the designated chef, the occasion can become incredibly stressful, with worries and woes of getting everything down to a tee. The turkey must be juicy, Brussels sprouts should be crunchy and far from soggy, and the gravy should be the perfect consistency, which can be quite a headache when having to juggle all components of the prestigious lunch.
