Athena Warburton, Goddess of Barnsley, prides herself on her bacon butties. Sophia Ferrari, Siren of Siena, prefers Prosciutto di Parma. Never the two shall meet – until, that is, Darton High School exchange matches their daughters. Will Adele Warburton (old enough to have a tattoo) and the glamorous Letitzia (young enough to model) bond or battle?

The Italian job goes down a storm with the neighbours who keep coming round to inspect la bella Letitzia but few are as keen as Nick, Adele’s older brother. With an anglo-italian nativity in the making, the Warburtons and Ferraris are brought together at Christmas.

A clash of cultural differences fans the fire which burns the turkey in a spectacular show down on Christmas Day. Packed with spirit, this is one Christmas you’ll never forget.
