There is no doubt about it, food is a big part of our Christmas celebration. From the chocolate in our advent calendars to the big Christmas dinner, food brings us together.
It is easy to get swept up in the festivities and overindulge. Over 1/3 of us in the UK feel we buy, eat and waste more at Christmas than at any other time of the year. Getting savvy with the food shop and re-using leftovers are great ways to reduce festive food waste. LoveFoodHateWaste have lots of great recipes to help you make the most of your food!
