'Christmas Recipe' imagines all the ingredients that go to make a wonderful Christmas being mixed together in a bowl! With this unique concept and a host of colourful 'ingredients' (robins, presents, snow, Father Christmas, and much more) this little musical offers the opportunity to create a very special Christmas performance.  

Cook (assisted by Cat and Dog) sets about creating the ultimate Christmas recipe. There are plenty of ingredients to stir in: a pinch of presents, a hint of angels, a few robins, several snowflakes and even Father Christmas!  All these ingredients are stirred into the mix one by one, until there is just one vital ingredient left to add: the baby in the manger! Finally they have it: the recipe for a perfect Christmas.

"Absolutely marvellous nativity play. The children enjoyed all the songs and dances. The script was easy to learn and the meaning of Christmas was sent to everyone's heart. We will remember the ingredients and prepare this recipe every year and will always remember the vital ingredient - a gift called love. Thank you for the best play ever."
