Series 1: Episode 1

To mark Advent 2020, Ellie Harrison and Angellica Bell celebrate three very different country Christmases by joining in the making, shaping, gathering and worshipping of three regions in Britain as they prepare for Christmas. \n\nAdvent across the UK is a month-long celebration leading, for many, to a very important Christmas birthday. Ellie and Angellica travel across Scotland, as well as the north of England and the south west, exploring different local customs, culture and traditions at this special time of year. \n\nIn this episode, Ellie and Angellica travel to Scotland. They find out why Christmas took a back seat in celebrating the end of the year in Scotland, visit a Christmas tree farm which supplied Downing Street with its tree two years ago, and sample a real Scottish delicacy that has people busy baking in December.\n\nThis Advent, we celebrate some of our best-loved, unique traditions, but also our shared spiritual heritage across the United Kingdom.
