Christmas Pudding Hunt
Win this fabulously festive Le Creuset casserole
The competition is open to everyone – wherever you live in the world – all you need to do is sign into Nigella.com, or quickly register if you aren’t already a member. Don’t worry – it’s a painless process, and free! Then you are ready to play.
Every day, from the 1st to the 24th of December, we’ll give you a hint to find that day’s numbered Christmas pudding, which will be hidden on one of Nigella’s Christmas recipes. Search for the recipe that you believe the hint is linked to, and if correct, you will see a numbered Christmas pudding. Click on the pudding, when signed in to your account, to add it to your collection. The last pud will be on 24th of December – and if you’ve managed to find all the puds, you will be entered into a prize draw for a chance to win this fabulous Le Creuset festive casserole, along with a copy of Nigella’s book NIGELLA CHRISTMAS, signed for you. And we have five more copies of NIGELLA CHRISTMAS, ready to be signed by Nigella for our five runners-up.
Don’t worry if you miss a day – or if you come to the competition after the 1st – you can still enter. You can see the previous days’ hints below, and collect the puds you’ve missed. It also provides a handy checklist so you can make sure you’ve got all your puds.
The winners will be drawn in the New Year and announced on the site. Happy hunting!
