Gregg Wallace visits the Woodmansterne card factory in in Watford. It鈥檚 one of the largest greeting card companies in the UK, a family business sending out 35 million cards a year.
He gets stuck into all aspects of the card creation process - from sketching a card design, to creating an aluminium plate for the printing process, to the guillotining of the sheets into cards and the final shipping process, which takes the cards as far afield as Australia and Singapore.
Meanwhile, Cherry Healey creates a vegan Christmas feast, and historian Ruth Goodman unwraps the story of the year when Christmas was cancelled.
