Christmas decorations are about to fill rooms as festive playlists are warming up for the countdown to the most wonderful time of the year. But while Christmas brings plenty of sparkle, it can also be an extremely stressful time.

Winter is already an expensive couple of months and, with costs this year already spiraling, more pressure than ever is being placed on household budgets. According to the latest Household Costs Index, household costs rose by 2.8% in the year to June 2026. The weekly shop is around £22 more than last year, fuel has reached £2 a litre and energy bills are predicted to rise 16% in January. For many households, winter can mean hundreds of pounds of extra spend each month.
