...and you're invited! Singer Jessie Ware and her mum/podcast co-host Lennie, Radio 1’s Greg James and author Bella Mackie, plus filmmaker Richard Curtis and broadcaster Emma Freud, are the special guests at Newscast's virtual Christmas party this year. A bit of a family affair!

It’s been another year of big news, so as a seasonal treat, we talk about the politics… of Christmas food, we review the year in music, and we celebrate the best festive films.

The Newscast Christmas special was produced by Daniel Wittenberg with Alix Pickles, Sally Abrahams and Ros Jones. The sound design was by Emma Crowe and the studio manager was Mike Regaard. The assistant editor was Sam Bonham.
