*I think this dinner pack is unique and brilliant 💯👌👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻* I have done the turkey in the foil and out the tray,in a roasting pan with extra oil if I want to make my own gravy. But definitely far more convenient in the tray it comes in x
Personally I think it was a bargain, saves rushing round like a blue ar,,d fly looking for everything separately, nice one,just subscribed merry Christmas ❤
Lol your face when you saw all those different times of cooking but you did very well i did wander if uou could get it cheaper buying separately. It did look lush at the end though but not enough gravy for four people. Great video x
We totally agree on the gravy! It definitely looked more daunting than it actually was, I'm glad we tried it! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment x
That was a very interesting video do you know I'm going straight to my local Iceland tommorow to see if that's in stock we will have it new year as I've a!ready planned to have chi cken and gammon for the big day looked very easy to cook you did well with the timings more gravy no cranberry sauce. Love these type of vids pigs in blankets a very good Xmas box take care 👍👍❄❄👋👋
We got ours from a iceland food warehouse I don't know if that makes a difference but if you can't find one in the usual one that might be worth trying, I hope you enjoy and have a great Xmas xx
Wow £25 for 4 😮 the instructions look like the periodic table 😂 but that is such a brilliant idea. Looks great, thanks for bringing it to my attention I've not seen these before 😮❤❤❤😊
Well done for making the boxed xmas dinner! After watching i would buy this if i saw it in my local Iceland! Looked fulfilling and its just what you need on these cold days! A bit more gravy ( i am a gravy fan) and it would be rocking. I can always make extra though. liked this vlog very much what a good idea in showing this box of goodies cooked and served up ! take care you three !
I’ve lost both my parents & a sibling in the last 2 & a bit years, I only lost my Dad in June, a matter of days after fathers Day when I was scheduled to make him a big roast dinner, our favourite meal & something he’d missed while having his hospital stays. I promised him while he was in ICU, I’d do a roast dinner when he got home.. & in the funeral home I promised I’d still do that roast dinner in his honour. So despite being on my own for the first time this Christmas, i will be doing a Christmas dinner for myself, but it’ll often last me 3 evenings dinners - I don’t get fed up with it as I do different sides each time, & it’s my favourite meal anyway, & since I’m disabled, it’s nice to have it all ready each night, just a case of reheating :) I always cook my meat first & pop it under foil (roast pork for me, not a turkey fan, neither was my Mum or Dad!), then I just pop in the roast potatoes, roasted carrots / parsnips, pigs in blankets & cauliflower cheese, & on the hob I’ve usually got my tenderstem broccoli & sweetheart cabbage going. I serve with bread sauce, Yorkshire pudding & gravy! It’s a lot of work, but I steady myself doing it, & leftover meat is had with jackets, salad etc. Not sure I’ll do it every year, perhaps I’ll just cook a nice roast chicken and make some nice little buffet bits. But I want to honour Mum & Dad this year. Lovely idea Iceland have done though, especially if you’re a smaller family. £25 all in, other than extra gravy, yorkshires, perhaps bread sauce & cauliflower cheese, I’d say £30? If that? I don’t think that’s bad for 4 people! x
Omg I'm sorry to hear you've had such a tough time, it's lovely to hear you will be honoring ur promise to your dad, I've never had bread sauce I will have to try it sometime! Sending you positive and happy thoughts, from Aron & Ian & Einstein xx
@ Oh my goodness! Please do try it! I recommend the Colmans one over any other brand, it’s glorious! I’ve converted many people 🙈 It’s traditionally had with turkey or chicken but I have it with pork because I love the stuff lol. If I lived closer, I’d pop you some over as I have a stash.. not addicted or anything 😏 Ah, bless you all, thank you. Been a very difficult few years, especially the last 6 months navigating life without them, especially Dad. You’re all really kind. Love and blessings to all 3 of you, so lovely to have come across your channel. 💗 xx
I'm sorry to hear that. Sorry for your loss. We lost my wife's mother to aggressive cancer this year and it will be my wife's first year without her mum, her dad passed about ten years ago. I've lost both my parents so I know what she and you are going through. As much as neither of us feel like celebrating Christmas after the last rough year, we too have decided to have a full traditional Christmas dinner as it is something all our parents loved, and none of them would be very pleased with us if they were here and could see us not sticking to a traditional Christmas. They wouldn't want us to be miserable. I think it does you good mentally to keep your mind occupied at such times of the year, and preparing a big meal at Christmas is an ideal way to do that. Again, I'm so sorry for your loss. I won't lie and tell you things get back to how they were before, but it does improve and get better over time. You just gave to adjust and carry on. Having family and friends to talk to also helps. I don't think we would have gotten through the last year without our 3 and 5 year old granddaughter's to focus on. They can't help but make us smile. Also doing things to help others can give you a sense of life being worthwhile at times like this. I used to help out for charities a lot around Xmas. Raising funds or helping individuals, I have spent most of my life helping disabled people as a carer, but now I myself am in a position where I can't do much physically for anyone anymore, including myself (I've ended up disabled and mostly housebound in the last 5 years since COVID, through various illnesses, including COVID, ulnar nerve damage, muscle wasting, lower leg amputated etc the list goes on and sadly gets worse, but you can't let it get you down!) but now, instead of the things I used to be able to do to help, the one good thing I can do is to donate to charities who use that money to help others. I'm not rich, far from it, and after getting ill, I had to sell my small computer building/repair business that I did in-between being a carer, and as I don't need to buy my wife and myself much as we are content and have all the things we need in life, including each other, so we can afford enough to give a little here and there, especially around Christmas time. Knowing we have given around 5 people a happier Christmas this year will make things more tolerable for us this time of the year. That's because we give to a few different charities that help people who are homeless or otherwise in need, to have a room, meals, a few gifts and the chance of help to get themselves in a better position in life if they need and want it, and knowing if it helps just one person, the fact we've made a bit of a difference helps us to get through Christmas. Just keep yourself and your mind occupied and you will get through, what will be, a very tough time. Merry Christmas isn't really appropriate here, so I'll just say that I hope you have as good a Christmas as can be expected in the circumstances, and that you can hopefully look forward to a better year in 2025.
Hi guys, I'm wondering if it may have been easier to have used the conventional oven since you had it on anyway rather than both the air fryer and the oven? I appreciate Christmas dinner isn't an easy task for some though. Enjoyed watching.
Yea we did wonder that and it probably would have tbh but our over is missing an element so it basically just warms food instead of cooking it but we barely use it so we haven't had it fixed haha
Hey guys👋in all fairness, that didn't look too bad and didn't look too challenging to cook and the price was fair I thought👍 I too enjoy cauliflower cheese and lots of gravy and of course a yorkshire puddings with my Christmas Dinner. Have a good Christmas to the pair of you xx
Hi cutie pies ... Looks nice I would buy but my partner doesn't like pork quite good all pigs in blankets 4 myself 😋 .. It's my day off IV gone back 2bed with a Bailey's coffee and you guys!! .. heaven 🤍☃️🎄❄️🤍☃️🎄❄️
Hi been watching your videos for a month now and enjoying them, I'm not much of a commenter but I noticed the box that potentially has your address on in the background, please be careful about that, I wouldn't want a nutter knowing where yous live x
Thanks this is really helpfull if trying to do easy dinner great to know good idea for a video Merry Christmas love to you both TC
Thanks so much, merry Christmas to you too
Plus since you saved the juices of the turkey by keeping the foil tray those can be used to build more gravy. Really nice vibe - subscribed
That's a good idea, thanks 😊
*I think this dinner pack is unique and brilliant 💯👌👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻*
I have done the turkey in the foil and out the tray,in a roasting pan with extra oil if I want to make my own gravy. But definitely far more convenient in the tray it comes in x
I think it's a great idea and it honestly tasted good to us xx
Personally I think it was a bargain, saves rushing round like a blue ar,,d fly looking for everything separately, nice one,just subscribed merry Christmas ❤
Thanks so much! Merry Christmas xx

All sold out at my local Iceland this morning so going to try my warehouse fingers crossed
Wow £25 for 4 😮 the instructions look like the periodic table 😂 but that is such a brilliant idea. Looks great, thanks for bringing it to my attention I've not seen these before 😮❤❤❤😊
It's definitely a good idea for families that want minimal stress on Xmas day, thanks for the comments xx
That is ideal for someone on a fixed budget with fixed resources I think - and you can always buy gravy granules and add a few herbs etc
Definitely agree 👍
Well done for making the boxed xmas dinner!
After watching i would buy this if i saw it in my local Iceland!
Looked fulfilling and its just what you need on these cold days! A bit more gravy ( i am a gravy fan) and it would be rocking. I can always make extra though. liked this vlog very much what a good idea in showing this box of goodies cooked and served up ! take care you three !

Looks great, thanks guys enjoyed this. :)
Thanks for watching
Fantastic value 👌 just buy Yorkshire pudding and stuffing separately cheap enough. HAPPY XMAS lads have a good one 🎅
Thanks! Happy Xmas to you too!
I think it looked really good and tasty! And personally there was enough gravy for me. Well done
Thanks for watching and commenting 😊
I like cook slow meat in oven fresh veg etc my own roasts but good on you 2 for show people merry Xmas
Thanks for watching! Merry Xmas to you too x

Just priced it all up and it would of been 28.75
Oh wow really? So not too bad! It was definitely less challenging than I thought it would be.
put the turkey juice in the gravey and the water you boil the brussles in
Thanks for the tip!
Hi just subscribed to your channel.That meal looked great looking forward to seeing more from you guys.
Thank you! We hope you enjoy our channel ❤️
You done well cooking dinner.i think you're right about the Yorkies and cauliflower cheese.new subscriber ❤
Thank you 😊
You did well there with the timings and all! Looked not too bad, but more gravy needed as you say. Thank you 😊
Thanks! I was really dreading cooking it so I'm glad I managed it, thank you for watching
Hi guys,
I'm wondering if it may have been easier to have used the conventional oven since you had it on anyway rather than both the air fryer and the oven?

Enjoyed watching.
Yea we did wonder that and it probably would have tbh but our over is missing an element so it basically just warms food instead of cooking it but we barely use it so we haven't had it fixed haha
Looks good and you done it. I like to start from scratch but no bad for what you got.
Yea it definitely all would be better from scratch, but for ease on the day it's pretty good.
Well done Aaron ! Christmas Dinner is my nemesis. We're doing a buffet this year because I can't face the whole Turkey saga! 😁
Buffet actually sounds like a great idea tbf, xmas dinner is usually too much stress!
I'd add cranberry sauce and make some more gravy and bread sauce and then cauliflower but not cauliflower cheese
Definitely need to try bread sauce I hear it's amazing!
@@AriaGracefield Do not buy packet mix. Make it from scratch
Hey guys👋in all fairness, that didn't look too bad and didn't look too challenging to cook and the price was fair I thought👍 I too enjoy cauliflower cheese and lots of gravy and of course a yorkshire puddings with my Christmas Dinner. Have a good Christmas to the pair of you xx
Thanks David, we hope you have a good Christmas aswell xx
That gravy is never for 4 people! And no Yorkshires! Outrageous lol
Totally agree! They could have given 2 pots and some Yorkshires
Hi cutie pies ... Looks nice I would buy but my partner doesn't like pork quite good all pigs in blankets 4 myself 😋 .. It's my day off IV gone back 2bed with a Bailey's coffee and you guys!! .. heaven 🤍☃️🎄❄️🤍☃️🎄❄️
Aww thanks 😊 definitely a good box if you enjoy all the stuff in it, I love bed days they are the best! xx
That's definitely not enough gravy for 4
Totally agree!
No minted peas?
Unfortunately not, I don't think I've ever had those.
Hi been watching your videos for a month now and enjoying them, I'm not much of a commenter but I noticed the box that potentially has your address on in the background, please be careful about that, I wouldn't want a nutter knowing where yous live x
Haha thanks! I shouldn't worry about the address the nutters are already in the house! x
@@AriaGracefield 😅 that did make me laugh about the nutters in the house😅
How about a nice nut roast 🤣🤣
I'm sure if we found a good one it would taste delicious xx
