CHRISTMAS isn’t just about turkey – we’ve rounded up all the festive food and drink from chains including McDonald’s and KFC.
There’s also Christmas menus from Subway, Greggs and Costa Coffee for you to feast your eyes on.
But keep in mind that if you live in England, restaurants currently remain closed for dine-in.
You’ll still be able to order food for takeaway and home delivery. Some fast food chains also have drive-thrus.
The rules are different for restaurants in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Here’s what’s on offer from your favourite food chains this year:
McDonald’s
The star of the McDonald's Christmas menu is the new double Big Mac, which is packed with a whopping four beef patties instead of the usual two.
The double Big Mac was launched in the US earlier this year but this is the first time it's been released in the UK.
It'll be available as a single sandwich for £4.19, or as a meal with a side and drink for £5.69.
For afters, there's also a new Celebrations McFlurry – available in mini size for 99p or regular size for £1.39 – which has pieces of Maltesers, Galaxy, Mars, Twix and a caramel sauce.
Prices at McDonald's vary depending on your location, but these are the average prices.
McDonald's Christmas menu 2020, available from November 18 to December 29:
- Double Big Mac (£4.19 single, £5.69 as a meal)

KFC
The KFC Christmas menu for 2020 includes a burger that you can cover in gravy.
The Gravy Burger consists of gravy mayonnaise, an Original Recipe chicken fillet, a slice of melted cheese and a hash brown "gravy boat" plus, of course, a side of gravy.
The hash brown "gravy boat" has been designed to have a dip in it to hold the gravy. As the gravy comes as a side, you'll need to pour it yourself.
The Gravy Burger costs £6.99 as part of a box meal, which includes the Gravy Burger, gravy, Original Piece mini fillet, a side, a pot of gravy mayonnaise and a drink.
Sadly, you won't be able to buy the burger on its own.
KFC hasn't revealed any other items as part of its Christmas menu 2020, but it has teased that more food could be added.

It'll be available as a 6inch for £3.59 or a footlong for £5.69.
Also included in the Subway Christmas menu is a new turkey sandwich with hash browns and a side pot of pigs in blankets.

Pizza Hut
Forget turkey – Pizza Hut's festive pizza for 2020 is topped with rotisserie chicken, crispy bacon and sage and onion stuffing.
Not festive enough for you? There's also a red wine gravy base instead of a traditional tomato or BBQ sauce.
You’ll need to be hungry though, as it only comes in a large size, which contains ten slices.
To give you an idea of what you’ll pay, we found one restaurant charging £19.49 for a large pan or classic crust, or £22.08 for a stuffed crust version.
You can also order it as part of the new Pizza Hut Christmas feast deal for £35, which includes three large pizzas, two classic sides, and a 1.5litre bottle of drink.
Pizza Hut hasn't said how long its Christmas pizza will be available for.

Also making a comeback is Greggs' salted caramel latte, which is made with a salted caramel syrup, cream and a shortbread crumb.
