So, you’ve probably already watched Marks & Spencer’s Christmas advert for 2016.

You may be feeling pretty emotional and filled with all kinds of warm and fuzzy feelings. You’ll definitely have strong opinions on whether this ad or John Lewis’s is better (we vote M&S’s, although we do have a soft spot for those CGI foxes).

And you’ll certainly be a little bit obsessed with the sparkly red trainers Jake gives his sister, Anna, for Christmas. Because they’re glorious.

Now, we have some good news and some bad news.

Christmas sandwiches are already hitting the shelves, but which ones have the most calories?

Mystery of half-decorated Christmas tree in city centre revealed

It’s a highlight for many during the festive period but worryingly, many of these contain anywhere between 500 and 600 calories, with some even containing more sugar than a can of coke.

Forget the Christmas sandwich. This year it’s all about the Christmas burger.

Just after Nando’s unveiled their PERi-Berry Burger, KFC have announced that they’re getting in on the Christmas chicken action.

Which Christmas sandwiches are the most calorific?

They’ve just revealed their first ever Christmas burger: The Colonel’s Christmas Burger.

KFC’s take on Christmas is an Original Recipe fillet, a hash brown, cheese, lettuce, cranberry sauce, and a sage and onion stuffing mayonnaise, all tucked inside a seeded bun.

Jack Hinchcliffe, the Innovation Director at KFC UK & Ireland, said: ‘Our aim was to create a tasty new burger that brought together… Read the full story

One of the best parts of Christmas is gathering as a family in the living room, untangling the fairy lights, and decorating the Christmas tree. It’s delightful.

You know what else is delightful? Alcohol.

So, wine bottle Christmas trees are now officially a thing and they’re magnificent

So let’s just go ahead and put the two together. Seems like the responsible thing to do.

Thankfully, we’re not just suggesting getting hammered and throwing tinsel in the general direction of plastic branches.

We’re talking about the revelation that you can now decorate your tree with baubles filled with gin.

If there’s one thing the beauty-obsessed corner of the internet loves at the minute, it’s all things holographic.

Seriously. Go ahead and look at the #holosexual tag on Instagram. The love is intense.

But usually makeup looks involving glittering holographic elements take loads of makeup artist wizardry, with a load of carefully applied glitter or even more carefully applied Photoshop.

No more.

Makeup brand Sigma Beauty has come up with a collection of magical lip glosses that do all the holographic work for you. With one swipe, they transform your lips into colourful, shimmering dreams.

It’s absolutely magical.

The nights are drawing in and the temperatures are dropping, which can only mean one thing: it’s baking season.

Now’s the time to make something delicious and eat it on the sofa with a giant mug of hot chocolate. While wrapped up in a blanket, obviously.

But if – like us – the cold makes you feel much too lazy to actually get out your cake tins, there is another way: the humble mug cake.

Graze has exclusively shared with us the recipe for making three delicious, super-easy mug cakes. They’re each made with the same Paleo, cacao-packed base, then have three different toppings to choose from – banoffee, raspberry,… Read the full story

John Lewis’ latest Christmas ad cost £7million to make. Turns out it could have been much cheaper.

A family of foxes have been filmed bouncing on a makeshift trampoline in a wildlife lover’s garden, in what looks like a real-life version of the John Lewis Christmas ad.

Dora Nightingale from Worthing, Sussex, filmed the foxes playing in her garden and said she would have let the retailer use the video for a £1,000 charity donation instead of the £7million it cost them to make their CGI ad.

‘The CGI in the ad is very good – they look just like the foxes in my garden,’ Dora said.

When your dad was a bandmember of The Beatles, you really should make the most of it.

If my dad were a Beatle, I’d introduce myself as ‘Ellen, daughter of a Beatle’, for example.

Stella McCartney prefers a slightly more subtle approach.

During the presentation of her spring women’s and men’s collections, Stella paid tribute to her dad by getting her models to walk across Abbey Road.

Hey, remember that fancy dessert trend for ‘cakes’ that look like giant water droplets?

We call them ‘cakes’ with some suspicion, because they’re really more like clear, flavour-free jellies.

But anyway, they were very exciting and highly Instagrammable and everyone lost their sh*t over them for a little bit. Understandably, considering that they’re basically giant drops of water you can poke, jiggle, and eat.

Well now someone’s come up with an update.

They’ve taken one trend – the water drop ‘cake’ – and combined it with something classic that people will love forever – cats.

You might not have noticed this, but Netflix is home to a lot of badass female characters.

Seriously. Compare it to a lot of actually-on-the-TV networks and it’s impressive, in terms of the sheer number of women actually taking leading roles and the kind of characters actresses get to play with.

It’s lovely and very much needed.

We need characters like Jessica Jones, who’s tough but vulnerable. We need the diverse range of women starring in Orange Is The New Black.

We asked women why they refuse to be called ‘feminist’

We have serious soft spots for all of these characters, looking up to them and… Read the full story

For many people, Christmas markets mean mulled wine, lebkuchen and little wooden chalets selling mistletoe earrings.

But not everyone wants to buy over-priced felt bags, chunky wooden jewellery or fudge for their loved ones at Christmas.

Which is where Hyper Japan Christmas market comes in.

The annual event is on at London’s Tobacco Dock from Friday, November 25 to Sunday, November 27 this year.

We attended Hype Japan’s spring show – here’s some pictures from it and details on what you can expect from the Japanese extravaganza.

The drooping eyes at 5pm, the jolting away, starving, at 3am, the vague mix of fatigue and nausea in the middle of the afternoon – jet lag seems to be the price you pay if you love to travel or have to for work.

But don’t reach for the coffee or pro plus just yet – there’s plenty of other, healthier ways to overcome jet lag.

I interviewed Mark Green, the well-travelled brains behind private jet charter company Volanteus.

Here’s his top tips for beating jet lag.

1. Fly privately

Of course a man who charters private jets would say this, but there is some science to back up his suggestion.
