And not forgetting dessert at the end of the pasty - a Christmas pudding. All that inside one pasty!

You'll most likely want your pets to be involved in the festive fun but there are lots of Christmas dinner foods that your pets should NOT be eating and could make them ill.

But don't worry because there are Christmas dinners for pets too!

These include specially made dog food with turkey, parsnips and cranberries which means they can have a festive dinner with you.
