Christmas

Alex Jones and Steph McGovern tackle the Atwal-Brice family's seasonal spend, as well as seeing how Christmas candles get their smell, and this year's interactive must-have toys.

Alex Jones and Steph McGovern return to our screens just in time for Christmas. They are off to Yorkshire to tackle the Atwal-Brice family's seasonal spend.

As foster parents, Paul and Michael have cared for over 20 children, including twin brothers Levi and Lucas who they adopted ten years ago. Levi and Lucas have since been diagnosed with autism and epilepsy and now aged 12 need full-time care. As well as continuing to foster, Paul and Michael have recently adopted another set of one-year-old twins, Lance and Lotan. For this extremely busy household, there's one time of year that remains particularly special - Christmas. With ten Christmas trees, over 600 baubles and 5,500 Christmas tree lights, Paul and Michael feel Christmas is all about making special memories with their boys and as a result don't hold back on anything, but can Steph and Alex convince them that magical memories don't have to come with a hefty price tag?

If this family can make a few cutbacks this Christmas they could start saving for a family trip to Disneyland, Florida.

As well as saving the family much-needed cash, Alex sets out to investigate how Christmas candles get their smell while Steph goes back to school to find out more about this year's interactive must-have toys.

From gift wrapping to the best value party dress, there's tips and tricks for everyone.
