Kirstie's Handmade Christmas

In a role to rival that of Mother Christmas, Kirstie Allsopp is at Blenheim Palace's Christmas fair. She is joined by top crafters from across the UK and heads for Norway for a Scandinavian Christmas.

Kirstie shows how to make a show-stopping garland, boozy fondue and personalised paper-cut pictures. Home upcycling expert Jay Blades shows how a bookcase can be transformed into a doll's house or castle.

It's the 50th anniversary of Christmas favourite `The Sound of Music', and Kirstie is in Austria to celebrate and to learn how to make a few of her favourite things, including warm woollen mittens, mulled wine and traditional baked tree decorations.

In Slovakia, a new wave of crafters are turning old traditions into fast and funky gifts and decorations. Kirstie finds inspiration for statement jewellery and discovers a tree-dressing tradition to bring a tear to the eye.

Kirstie is in the Highlands, at Blair Castle's Christmas Fair, and explores the wonderful world of Scottish craft, from tweed with a twist to glamorous handmade jewellery and pottery.

Kirstie Allsopp is at Waddesdon Manor's Christmas Fair in Buckinghamshire, where Christmas is raised to another level of glamour, with countless stalls selling thousands of culinary delights.
