- From turkey to Twiglets, Amazon survey reveals our Christmas food favourites
- A survey asked 2,000 people what’s on their shopping list for a good Christmas
- Perhaps surprisingly, crispy roast potatoes came top, beating turkey by 5%
While a turkey dinner and all the trimmings are the staples of Christmas Day, it is not complete without a tin of Quality Street and a cold glass of Bucks Fizz.
Also on the list of festive essentials are chocolate coins, mini sausage rolls and Twiglets, according to a study of Christmas eating habits.
A survey asked 2,000 people what items must be on their Christmas shopping list if they are to have a good day.
Perhaps surprisingly, crispy roast potatoes came top with 65 per cent, even beating turkey on 60 per cent. Pigs in blankets were placed third, followed by gravy, mince pies and stuffing.

And, despite their bad press, Brussels sprouts scored 50 per cent in the survey for grocer Amazon Fresh UK.
Looking further down the list of 25 essentials, Quality Street (36 per cent) pipped Cadbury’s Roses (32 per cent) to the post when it comes to the top Christmas day chocolates.
For 23 per cent the day would be seriously lacking if they didn’t have a glass of Bucks Fizz. Mini sausage rolls are considered vital by 31 per cent, Mini Cheddars by 16 per cent and Twiglets by 15 per cent.
