Christmas With The Australian Women's Weekly

From a fail-safe pork crackling to a show-stopping ice cream dessert, The Australian Women's Weekly's food team, alongside MasterChef Australia alumni Amina Elshafel and Sarah Tiong, have your Chrissie Day menu covered with their easy take on our festive favourites.

And if you're looking to entertain the kids (and let's face it, who isn't?), The Living Room's Barry Du Bois creates magical Christmas craft with his kids, and Studio 10's Tristan MacManus does his best to impress the toughest food critic of all, his daughter Echo.

Christmas With The Australian Women's Weekly is a merry one hour special, bringing to life, the frivolity of the festive season.

From being distanced from our loved ones, to border closures and missed special events, there's no denying we've had a hard couple of years. But this Christmas, we're shutting down Zoom and finally getting back together – in person!

Premiering Thursday, 9 December at 7.30pm on 10, Christmas With The Australian Women's Weekly is celebrating not what's under the tree, but rather, who's around it. And to make this one our merriest yet, host, Studio 10's Sarah Harris has called upon a couple of her famous friends to lend a helping hand.

From a crafty session with the Crap Housewife herself, Jessica Rowe, to an utterly fabulous meatless dish whipped by the utterly fabulous, Courtney Act, to The Living Room's Miguel Maestre's take on a flaming hot summer barbie and some jolly ideas to bring the Chrissie table to life with styling expert Chyka Keebaugh, there is something for every kind of get together.

Plus, we catch up with cover girl Miranda Tapsell (and her bump!), Michael "Wippa" Wipfli and his gorgeous family and MasterChef Australia's Melissa Leong in the kitchen, to capture all the festive fun behind their photoshoots for the Christmas issue of the magazine.

So, whether you say Merry Christmas, Feliz Navidad or Frohe Weinachten, let us help you celebrate!

Join The Project's Sarah Harris and The Weekly team, lead by Editor-In-Chief Nicole Byers and Food Director Fran Abdallaoui, as they bring the iconic magazine to life this festive season, with stocking loads of festivities and expert holiday tricks from some of the best chefs, cooks, stylists and crafters.
