Second Covid spike notwithstanding, this festive season is set to be ALL about entertaining at home. Possibly in fewer numbers than past years, but even if you could afford to go out out, the potential risk of picking up a killer virus on the dancefloor (will there even be dancefloors?) is a major buzzkill. The fact we’ve barely seen friends and rellies this year should take the pressure off hosting at home, too.
