‘Mulled wine’s disgusting and Xmas pudding tastes like nail varnish,’ says Stacey Solomon as she shares festive faves
STACEY Solomon has opened up about her Christmas day traditions – including the two popular festive food items that are banned from her festivities.
Stacey, 34, gave fans an insight into her celebrations at her home Pickle Cottage alongside husband Joe Swash and their children Rex, four, Rose, two, and Belle, seven months, as well as sons Zachary, 15, and Leighton, 11, from previous relationships.
The Loose Women star took part in a fun social media video posted on Loose Women’s TikTok account where she had to answer a series of quickfire questions about what she loves most about Christmas.
And it didn’t take long for her to slam some popular UK traditions, such as tucking into Christmas pudding or sipping on mulled wine.
When given the choice between ordering mulled wine or hot chocolate, Stacey said it was a total non-brainer for her.
She responded: “Hot chocolate – mulled wine is disgusting! Who invented that?”

And when she was presented with either Christmas pudding or yule log, Stacey made her feelings on the festive desserts very clear.
She said: “Yule log. Christmas pudding tastes like alcohol.
“It also tastes a little bit like nail varnish, I think.”
The mum added that its only saving grace was that “it looks pretty when you set it on fire.”
In another potentially controversial take, Stacey was asked if she prefers wrapping presents or decorating the tree – and her answer might surprise some.
She answered: “Wrapping presents is my favourite thing in the world.”
The mum-of-five also revealed that she’d choose to spend Christmas at home every single year – which is probably why she goes all out when it comes to decorating.
Stacey explained: “We always get a real tree every single year. But I have a few fake trees as well.”
Elsewhere in the video clip, the Sort Your Life Out host also chose her favourite Christmas movie and song – settling on Elf and All I Want For Christmas Is You.

And she said that one thing she could never choose between was a Christmas dinner or evening nibbles buffet.
This isn’t the first time that the former X Factor star has revealed some details about what she does differently on Christmas day.
Stacey previously confessed: “This is going to sound really weird… my mum every Christmas morning used to cut a grapefruit in half, put some sugar on it and that was our breakfast.”
She went on to explain on an episode of the ITV lunchtime show that she’s the only one in her immediate family to tuck into the unusual morning meal.
Stacey continued: “None of my kids will eat it, Joe won’t eat it, it’s not even that great, but I just have to every single Christmas.”
She added: “I don’t eat grapefruit all year but on Christmas morning, I sit there with my half a grapefruit and sugar and I really enjoy it.”
