Waitrose has brought Gavin & Stacey stars Joanna Page and Mathew Horne back together for a new Christmas mini-series running across its online and social media channels.
The pair feature across six episodes in which they set out to help solve some of the nation’s most common Christmas quandaries with food.
The ‘How to Say It With Food’ series deals with issues such arguments over family board games and the prospect of festive marriage proposals. In each episode Page and Horne look to prove that the issues can all be solved with food such as the Waitrose No.1 Festive Turkey Pie, No.1 Golden Mince Pies with Limoncello, No.1 Hazelnut Creme Panettone, No.1 Party Polar Bao Buns, No.1 Mushroom Malbec & Port Wellington and No.1 Nutcracker.
“You thought you’d seen the last of us! Well, we’re back and what fun we had,” said Page. “I love food, so it was such a treat working with Mat and Waitrose on this new mini-series. From a delicious turkey pie to a mouth-watering mushroom wellington, food is what brings people together over the festive season.”
Horne said: “It was brilliant to be back on set with Joanna – it’s become a Christmas tradition. We’re very familiar with the classic Christmas conundrums, but there’s nothing that some good food can’t fix. If I haven’t eaten it all first! Jokes aside, food really is the perfect way to show your love this festive season.”
Waitrose senior social marketing manager Emily Angliss added: “This Christmas, we’re celebrating the magical role that food plays in bringing people together and showcasing love. Our new series is a funny compilation of seasonal scenarios that bring this to life and inspire our customers to say it with food. As a duo that are synonymous with family, friendship and love at Christmas across the UK, Mathew and Joanna were the perfect fit.”
The first episode launches today across Waitrose’s online and social channels, with new episodes coming out every Tuesday and Friday 19 December.
