The Family Christmas Hamper

One thing that brings families and friends a little closer at Christmas (and on occasion, even helps thaw old conflicts too) is Champagne. Our Brut Reserve N.V is an elegant blend of three classic grapes – Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay – that pairs superbly with a helping of Christmas morning Smoked Salmon.

Also inside your wicker is a bottle of our Muscadet Sur Lie which has a light and fresh Chablis-like quality, while our Bourgogne Rouge has a delicious summer fruitiness that will complement your centrepiece Christmas meat, whether you plump for goose, turkey or beef.

Made using finest Vostizza currants, California raisins, Turkish sultanas, and generous doses of Pusser’s® Full-Strength Navy Rum and Fortnum’s own cognac, our St James Christmas Pudding is made entirely by hand. Never mind being as good as homemade, this is better – especially with the addition of a little of our creamy Cognac Butter and a cup of either our famous Royal Blend Tea or Christmas Coffee.

Both of which, in turn, make ideal partners to a generous plateful of our Christmas Almond & Cranberry Biscuits, Stem Ginger Shortbread Fingers or Pink Marc De Champagne Truffles.

For a delicious twist on a festive classic, swap the cranberry sauce in your turkey-and-all-sorts Boxing Day sandwich for a little of either our Jewelled Clementine Marmalade or Christmas Piccadilly Piccalilli.

The latter is a both bright and zesty, well-textured condiment that once sampled, will become a long-standing staple of festive tables to come, while the former manages to combine clementine with cranberry to create a marmalade that works as well with a cold cut of turkey or ham as it does on top of your Christmas morning toast.

And of course, should either of those options seem a little too bold, there’s always the original and best, our Christmas Cranberry Sauce, to rely on.

Delicious and innovative, all this is just a taster of what awaits inside your hamper. Open up, and let the (hopefully good-natured) squabbling over the scrumptious contents begin!
