Panto baddie Steve McFadden, who is starring in Dick Whittington, talks about his rise to acting stardom. From life as a market trader to one of the most recognisable faces as Phil Mitchell in EastEnders he remembers his time at drama school Rada and why he loves panto so much.

One job that gets super busy at this time of year is that of a vicar. Chris Hassell spares a moment to tell all about getting ready for Christmas at the church including the huge amount of mince pies he has to buy!

Fashion is getting ready to party showcasing all the styles to get you from desk to dancefloor. Think sleek suits for the men, while the women are putting on the glitz.

In homes it's all about children and how to create a cosy Christmas look just for the kids. There's Santa, snowmen and elves galore.

Try our secret Santa quiz and see if you can figure out which local celebrities are hiding behind the Father Christmas hats and beards.

There's also the 20-page TV guide full of what's on the box including a festive special of Last Tango in Halifax and a chat with its two leading ladies.

Head to the shops, and settle on the sofa with a glass of mulled wine, a mince pie and Weekend!
