Le Creuset cast iron has been a favourite of cooks around the world since 1925. There are countless ways to use yours at Christmas. Be inspired by the Italians and create a classic panettone – a light, fluffy sweet bread that’s traditionally baked, shared and enjoyed at Christmas and New Year. Or look to Denmark and try making a classic Risalamande rice pudding.

Across the world, the festive season is a time when families come together to bake delicious treats and share them with loved ones, friends and neighbours. Le Creuset bakeware helps you achieve brilliant results, effortlessly, thanks to non-stick technology, ergonomic handles, and more. Use yours to whip up a batch of spectacularly moreish Swedish Lussebullar saffron buns. Or try your hand at Black Forest Gâteau – a German favourite.

Every country has their own special take on the art of gifting. What makes a great gift? The thought, present and wrapping each play their part. This year, sending a carefully wrapped gift is a wonderful way to express your love, especially if you can’t be together in person. Make them feel extra special with bright patterned paper, bows and ribbons, or keep it simple yet meaningful with traditional brown paper, string, and a handwritten tag.
