Henry McKean ignites our festive spirit is this year's Christmas Cracker! Neven Maguire serves up some eleventh-hour Christmas dinner wisdom. We're on the hunt for the ultimate Christmas chart-topper with Pete Waterman, the maestro behind Stock Aitken & Waterman. Then there's "Mr. Christmas" himself, the one who keeps the yuletide vibe alive 365 days a year.
