It's a cold December afternoon on the Yorkshire Moors, and you've been invited to celebrate Christmas at Downton Abbey!
The snow crunches under your feet as you approach the great entry way, and before you can knock Mr. Carson has swung the door open and is welcoming you in from the cold.
You step inside and are immediately greeted by warmth, the sounds of laughter, and the heart-warming scent of pine mixed with cinnamon, orange, and nutmeg.
Carson takes your coat then leads you to the main hall where the Crawley family has assembled to welcome you beneath the beautifully adorned Christmas tree.
After a moment of exchanging pleasantries, you all make your way to the dining room.
Mrs. Patmore is sure to have outdone herself for such an occasion, and your mouth is already watering in anticipation of the incredible day-long feast ahead of you...You can almost taste the Roast Turkey with Apple Stuffing and fresh Cranberry Sauce... The Sausage Forcemeat, Creamed Potatoes, Redcurrant Jelly, Baked Parsnips...Heaven!
In her new book, Christmas at Downtown: Holiday Foods and Traditions from the Unofficial Guide to Downtown Abbey" Elizabeth Fellow, #1 bestselling author of Tea at Downtown," pulls back the curtain and shows you how to give your family a taste of Downton life!
