We wish you a virtual Christmas

Christmas will be a little peculiar this year, with government imposed 'Christmas Bubbles' and complicated tier systems, it will certainly be a different celebration compared to what we're used to. Whilst large gatherings and more than 3 households mixing are banned, thank goodness for today's technology. Through the power of FaceTime, Zoom and House Party you can still connect with family, and what better way to spread some festive cheer, than with the Ultimate Christmas Quiz..
