It’s hard to keep track of which different ‘unicorn’ foods exist nowadays, with everything from unicorn hot chocolate to unicorn toast gracing our Instagram feeds.

So it’s not surprising to learn that unicorn cake is big thing too.

We’ve heard a few strange catfish stories in our time – there was the time a bunch of friends tricked one poor guy into thinking a stranger wanted to sleep with him. And, bizarrely, there was also the time where the catfish actually owned up to catfishing

Christmas is a time for singing, music and food.

Frazzled? Our top three coffee trends to get you through the lead-up to Christmas

Is Christmas even happening if you haven’t heard at least one rubbish rendition of Away in a Manger being sung by a local group outside Tesco?

Well that tradition might be changing because apparently, Brits have become too shy to sing carols at Christmas (unless they’re drunk, presumably – anyone who’s been in a pub on Christmas Eve knows that many of think we’re the next Mariah).

With that in mind, Neapolitan pizzeria Franco Manca are offering people free pizza if they help spread a bit of festive cheer.

Today and tomorrow (20 December), they’re encouraging customers to don their cheesiest Christmas jumpers and put on their best performance of a festive classic in return for… Read the full story

If you’ve ever taken a laxative, chances are you haven’t gone on to tell the tale – because let’s face it, it’s not really a subject you can bring up over the dinner table. 

The truth about the calorie content of your Christmas lunch

But one girl’s laxative story was so hilariously gross that she just couldn’t not share.

And so, in a series of texts, Nicole McCourt told her friend how her attempt to be healthy had totally gone against her… Read the full story

With under one week to go until Christmas, most people *should* have their trees up by now.

Did you know?

Putting evergreens in the home dates back to the pagan times.

But when you stop and actually think about it, it seems pretty random to decorate our homes with evergreens.

After all Jesus was born in Bethlehem and there is no mention of him doing anything with firs in the Bible.

So why do we use spruces as Christmas trees? Here is everything you… Read the full story

It seems like every posho these days is a life coach or wellness guru. Often, they advise you on which organic, low-sugar, carb-free alternative to snack on. Or they’ll urge you to try meditation yoga in order to achieve ‘self actualisation’…whatever that means.

But who are these people and is their advice anything more than a load of crap? Do they have qualifications as nutritionists? Some, most definitely don’t.

You’ve got lights to put in your beard, snakes to remove from your tree and jumpers to buy for your dog.

Not to mention buying the turkey.

Pink pineapples aren’t a new thing.

A company has been given the go ahead to grow edible pineapples with pink flesh

People have been growing mini decorative pink pineapples for years.

But the man from Del Monte wants to take things a step (or ten) further by growing pineapples with edible pink flesh.

And he’s just been given the go ahead by the Food and Drug Administration in the States to do so.

Men and women are sharing the most common forms of sexism they face

Sexism, a social disease? (Picture: Getty Images)

In a surprisingly balanced discussion, two boards (separate, which may account for them being so civil) are tackling the most common forms of sexism they experience on a day-to-day business.

While there’s an ongoing debate about whether sexism towards men occupies the same space as racism towards white people, the sexism facing these men is undeniably troubling.

Most of the sexism men experience centered around having kids:

‘”Are you babysitting today?” No. I’m not. I’m never babysitting. I’m being a father to the daughter I’ve wanted since I was a child myself. I’m taking care of the most important person in my life. I’m not a babysitter. Seriously, that question infuriates me more than any… Read the full story

But we were wrong.

Beauty vlogger Casey Holmes trustingly gave her boyfriend full control over the voice-over description of her tutorial as she demonstrated the real deal.

Except, she was way more trusting than most as her boyfriend was *slightly* drunk as he carried out the task.

Amazingly, her boyfriend actually seemed to know a thing or two about… Read the full story

Christmas is a time for over the top gestures and last ditch attempts of winning over the affections of others.

All year, you’ve bottled up your burning sexual desire for your work colleague or neighbour – and Christmas is that one window when you can legitimately just tell them without feeling embarrassed.

That’s probably why offices organise Christmas parties.

Because, as Love Actually says, at Christmas ‘you tell the truth’.
