With Christmas Day looming, preparations for Christmas dinner are being made - with many already stocking up on food, snacks and drinks for the big day.

Whether you intend to have traditional turkey, an alternative meat-focused centrepiece, or vegetarian and vegan options, most people will likely make a roast dinner as part of the celebrations.

People do often overindulge during the festive season, but with the cost of living crisis impacting many households this year, some may be looking for innovative ways to use leftover Christmas food.

Meat pies, bubble and squeak, curry and mac and cheese are some ways festive food can be reused, and you can reheat leftovers and treat yourself to another dinner in the days following Christmas.
