This giveaway is now closed. The winner was Erica Price, West Midlands.

Welcome to the first ever Christmas giveaway extravaganza on Maison Cupcake!

Get set for twelve fabulous days of present giving lined up between now and December 17. There will be books, hampers, cookware, chocolate, you name it, it’s being given away here over the next twelve days.

There’ll be a lot of variety and several of the giveaways will also be open to international readers.

Today I am giving you the opportunity to win some fabulous Christmas goodies from Waitrose:

1. A sought after Delia Classic Christmas Cake kit RRP £10 but likely to disappear from the shops any second and go the same way as Heston’s Hidden Orange Christmas Pudding i.e. getting bought on Ebay by crazies with holes in their pockets

2. Borsari 750g Chocolate Panettone RRP £8.99 in a box so gorgeous Sarah Jessica Parker would probably use it as a handbag.

3. 400g Farmhouse Butter Biscuits RRP £5.99 in a tin adorned with cutesy red dress like something out of Mad Men. I’ve not seen Mad Men yet. It’s good apparently?

4. Silver Foodie Christmas Crackers – I can’t find these on the Waitrose or Ocado websites so they must be really exclusive and will be RRP at least £10.

To find out how to win these wonderful Waitrose goodies and more about other prizes being given away between now and December 17, read further down the bottom of this post.

But first let me show you some of my other favourite Waitrose goodies that I saw close up at their Christmas press launch back in the summer…

Lots of little tree decorations and stocking fillers ranging from these Bah Humbug chocolate discs to individually boxed Choc on Choc christmas chocolate cupcakes.

Raymond Briggs style The Snowman cake.

Father Christmas Cake for “Another Bloomin’ Christmas” – as is the phrase beloved of Raymond Briggs’ Father Christmas. My son watched this film so much last year we were concerned he might start saying “Happy Bloomin’ Christmas”.

Much more polite than the cartoon grumpy Father Christmas are these Three Kings and fondant nativity cake.

My favourite product of all is here, salted caramel delices, like truffles rolled in cocoa but with a hard shell inside which a liquid salt caramel bursts into your mouth. I have a bit of thing about salt caramel right now (don’t we all) and these really did it for me. Alongside them are almond and cinnamon clusters. Either would make great gifts to take along to a dinner party during the festive period.

For the children I loved these felt stockings and dinky jelly bean dispenser with miniature metal scoop.

I think these biscuits were gingerbread. I especially like the reindeer!

Last but not least, my other favourite product was this Love Christmas Gourmet Popcorn which comes in either Strawberry & White Chocolate or Pecan Caramel and Milk Chocolate flavours. Both are to die for. To my joy, Waitrose sent me a pack of each after the show and although I could have happily woofed them down I was incredibly restrained (or bonkers – you choose) and incorporated them into ice cream.

I’m really making you wait for these prizes aren’t I. Keep going and you’ll get them after the ice cream.

Pecan Popcorn Ice Cream

Ingredients:

(adapted from “Basic Vanilla Ice Cream”, Nigella Lawson, How to Eat)

500ml single cream

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

6 egg yolks

125g caster sugar

150g sweet popcorn

50g roughly chopped pecans

2 tbsp Dulce de Leche

50ml amaretto or Baileys or a liquer of your choice (optional)

You will also need an ice cream maker. I use the sort with a bowl you put in the freezer before churning.

Method:

1. Half fill the sink with cold water.

2. Heat the cream in a medium size saucepan until it’s about to come to the boil then turn down. Add the vanilla extract.

3. In another pan, whisk the egg yolks with the sugar until thick and creamy. Stir in the cream mixture beating all the while and then returning to a low to moderate heat. Stir continuously for 8-10 minutes.

4. Stand the pan in the sink of cold water and continue to stir vigorously.

5. When it is cold, churn in an ice cream maker for around 45 minutes.

6. Finally tip your ice cream into a tub for freezing. Before placing in the freezer, stir in the popcorn, Dulce de Leche and pecans with a spoon saving a small handful of popcorn and nuts to sprinkle on the top. Also at this point, if you are adding amaretto, stir that in now. Some booze added to homemade ice cream does make it awfully easier to scoop out later! Freeze for at least several hours before serving.

Ta-dah!

You made it. Well done.

    What a great selection, Waitrose used to be my only local supermarket and I really missed their quality and choice when I moved to an area which doesn’t have one (and what ever people say it’s not really more expensive if you care about the quality of what you buy. Anyway I don’t have one favourite Christmas movie but a selection we watch every year; White Christmas, Muppet Christmas Carol and It’s a Wonderful Life. They all make me feel very festive.

    my favourite christmas movie has to be Muppets Christmas Carol (watched it yesterday). Scrooge being visited by the 3 ghosts is a classic but with the Muppets turns it into such a great family film.

    December 6, 2010 at 10:01 am

    My favourite Christmas film is “Truly Madly Deeply” – it doesn’t have anything to do with Christmas, but it is a lovely girly film that just suits being wrapped up in a blankie on the sofa with a cup of mulled wine, some chocs and a box of tissues to cope with the weepy bits.

    I tweeted too. 🙂

  16. Kate Davis-Holmes says

    December 6, 2010 at 10:33 am

    Another favourite – although not really a Christmas film – is Wizard of Oz. It was shown every year at Christmas when I was growing up – back in the days before 500 channels, and millions of DVDs to watch! It always makes me feel Christmassy, even if I watch it in June!

    Phew. Took me a while to get to the bottom of your blog as I was distracted by the beautiful photos and am still drooling looking at those marvelous Christmassy treats. My fave movie is “The Snowman” as I used to watch it annually with the kids and they were mesmerised by it. We were full after Christmas dinner and tired after the joy and surprise of all those pressies. It was always a wonderful christmas with them. Grown up now but we still spend Christmas all together and revisit the movie when it is on TV.

  208. sharon says

    December 7, 2010 at 8:27 am

    My favourite Christmas movie is called “Prancer”, me and my children watch it every year, a really lovely movie about a little girl who finds an injured reindeer in the road, she of course helps the reindeer, it is a lovley family Christmas movie. My kids love it and they are 15 and 12 now!

    My ALL time favourite Christmas movie is “It’s a Wonderful Life” I was mesmerised by it as a child and that magic stayed with me all my life. After my divorce I met a fabulous man who confided to me during our first Christmas together that his fav movie was – It’s a Wonderful Life! Hopefully this is a sign of happy things to come!

    For me it has to be ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ – a timeless classic, hence the fact that they still show it 64 years after it was first released.
