Welcome to The Big Smoke Variety Show! In this festive episode, ‘Christmas Cheese and Reindeer Games’, we bring you a brilliant mix of holiday cheer, mouth-watering cheese, and heartwarming stories in support of the Babylon Migrants Project, a community interest company that empowers young refugees, asylum seekers, and migrants through creative activities.
Cheese consultant and author Emma Young leads a fascinating cheese tasting, featuring Maasdam, Taleggio, Brillat Savarin, Stilton, and Grana Padano. Emma shares delightful trivia, pro tips, and stories from her life as an international cheese consultant.
Actors Adam Cunis and Hollie Hales perform an enchanting Rudolph storytelling session that will light up your imagination like Rudolph’s red nose in the night sky.
Composer Joe Atkins and singer Cait Roddam Jones set the mood with festive tunes to fill your home with holiday joy.
We also dig into your quirky holiday traditions, test out your Christmas knowledge with the Philosophy of Christmas Quiz, and crown the cheesiest Christmas cracker joke!
Pour a glass of mulled wine, grab your favourite cheese, and join us for a holiday gathering to remember.
