In a TikTok video, he revealed the hard work should start on Christmas Eve. He recommended: "Get all the family peeling the veg. Part cook the veg."
Then, prepare yourself for an early start the next morning. Gordon added: "Everyone worries about that turkey. Honestly, first thing, 5.30am or 6am, put the turkey in the oven on low. Nip back to bed for a few hours and get yourself a plan."
Gordon also suggested delaying the meal until later in the day to avoid worrying about cooking all morning. He added: "Stop worrying about calling lunch too early. Push it back to 3pm or 4pm, that way you don't stress out and you get to enjoy it as well."
People seemed to appreciate Gordon's advice – as his TikTok video has garnered 66,500 likes and plenty of positive comments. One person agreed with his tips, writing: "To fail to prepare is to prepare to fail". And another said: "Sound advice taken in my house, merry Christmas!"
However, others weren't as convinced with his top tip. One asked: "Why do people stress about Christmas dinner? It’s literally same as a normal Sunday dinner plus a few extras – no stress at all." And another added: "You make it sound so much more complicated. Prep the veg Xmas day while the meats are cooking rest the meat then good the veg."
