[@thefishtoo]

Hello, I love the interaction between you and Katie. So nice to see a mum and daughter working side by side. Your videos are the best! Also enjoyed watching the making of the gingerbread train with your grandchildren. Super memories for all of you. The pesto tree and salted caramel crack look delicious. Thank you for sharing these ideas. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas. xx

[@Helenmaryjo]

Thank you and you too xx

[@marionwalker7473]

Hi Helen another great recipe tip l will definitely have a go at the Christmas craic. I have made the puff pastry tree with Nutella but the pesto one sounds delicious so will be trying that for our family gathering on Boxing Day. I try to get ahead like yourself so l can enjoy the day without being too busy and getting stressed out. X

[@Helenmaryjo]

Sounds like a plan. Have a great Christmas xx

[@hopesprings7812]

[@debwlv]

Great video, I can’t wait to try the pesto Christmas tree, it looks delicious! I made Christmas Crack for the first time ever this holiday and it will be a regular in my house from now on, it’s sooooooooo good!

[@Helenmaryjo]

It is, thanks for watching xx

[@sandeerawson1248]

May you be blessed this holiday season! I know I am grateful for the joy, smiles and giggles you have given me this past year. You are indeed a blessing! 😊. Merry Christmas 🎄

[@Helenmaryjo]

You are so welcome Sandee. Have a wonderful Christmas xx

[@thelmabrindley2369]

What a shame your mic died, I was loving the fun you and Katie were having. You did a great job with the voice over though.

[@Helenmaryjo]

Thank you, I couldn't believe it when I realised! But heyho! xx

[@aliceinwonderland.2080]

Hi Helen. What great ideas for nibbles over the holidays! The Pesto tree was particularly festive and I might have a go at making that myself ( my hubbie does all the cooking in my house! ) I wish you very happy holidays with your lovely family x❤️🥰🎄

[@Helenmaryjo]

Thank you and you. It's so easy xx

[@lovinglife6526]

Hi Helen, both recipes look very very tasty 😋. It’s lovely watching you prepare all the food, we don’t have enough people to eat everything in our house so I’m constantly saying I need to cut down on the food. I always seem to over cater. 😊

[@Helenmaryjo]

Yes, I'm terrible at that too, but luckily still have lots of eager people waiting to eat it, but that will change xx

[@yvonnebaptiste7505]

Shame the mic died, I was really enjoying the banter between yourself and Katie. The food looks delicious!

[@Helenmaryjo]

It was such a shame..... but I couldn't do it all again. xx

[@ninathomson4716]

Another lovely video Helen. Your daughter Katie is lovely and looks so like you. Both the foodie items looked amazing! Think I’ll need to try making the Christmas crack 😁. Enjoy the rest of your week 💕 x

[@Helenmaryjo]

Thank you we will xx

[@glennismossey6976]

So enjoyed watching you both together in the kitchen. Hopefully you can slow down a tad and enjoy the fruits of your hard work with a well earned cocktail ( or two…..) in the days ahead. Just want to wish you all a very ‘Merry Christmas’ and a fantastic New Year! I am prepping to leave the frigid temperatures of Alberta (-32) for the warmer climes of St. Maarten. I will tune in to your channel on my spot on the beach or on my perch by the pool (swim up bar) to see how you are doing post Christmas. 💕 Love to your Mum, Pat. Hope she is enjoying her hair ‘do’. 🎄🥶🍾

[@Helenmaryjo]

Oh wow, that sounds good - have a great time and thanks for watching xx

[@flo3799]

We get those crackers all the time in Italy. I love them.

[@Helenmaryjo]

That Pesto Christmas tree looks excellent! So does the Xmas crack! I enjoyed seeing you and your daughter laugh! ❤

[@Helenmaryjo]

Thanks so much xx

[@sassolungo]

Love it! Just wish I could have seen your facial expressions when you realised there was no sounds 🤣

[@Helenmaryjo]

Oh I was furious, and fed up, but couldn't do it again so just had to make the best of it. xx

[@rodheap9793]

Enjoyed.watching this very much appreciated the detail both yourself and Katie went to and both sweaters stayed chocolate free ! regards Lesley in anglesey 🍘🙋🌲👍

[@Helenmaryjo]

Our pleasure! xx

[@fionafrazer8820]

I call this Buttercrunch Candy, and for Christmas, add crushed candy canes sprinkled over the chocolate instead of the nuts/fruit! Always popular, and nice in little cellophane bags tied with ribbon. You and Katie hold your hands in exactly the same way! Fun to someone to cook with at this time of year!

[@Helenmaryjo]

Sounds good xx

[@jacqui9026]

Lovely to see you cooking with your glamorous assistant again
I’ve seen the tree done with chocolate many times but never with pesto and never heard of Christmas crack. Definitely got to try both x

[@Helenmaryjo]

So easy and tasty xx

[@skincarefan7742]

Going to do both of these recipes as they look scrummy.x

[@Helenmaryjo]

They are and easy too! xx

[@Bombabingbong66]

Cosmos n Crack 🤣💖 you have me roaring laughing. You remind me of Floyd with his Slurp n banter. Love you having Katie cooking with you.

[@Helenmaryjo]

[@kerstinschmidt9523]

I'm going to do the pesto and parmesan tree. Thanks for these.👍Lovely to see you with your daughter. I reminds me of me and my mum before she passed. We used to love cooking and baking together.

I love watching your videos, the food and the shopping hauls. I know this isn’t a fashion one, but I love your sweater, May I ask where it was purchased. Oh by the way, we are 36c today with blue skies in Perth,Western Australia 🇦🇺 l. Happy Christmas 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🧑‍🎄

[@Helenmaryjo]

Thank you. It's grey and drizzly here, the worst kind of weather. Enjoy the sunshine.
I think it's M and S from a year or two ago. Happy Christmas to you too xx

[@vickysimms5886]

Pastry Christmas tree looks scrummy, I guess could adapt to suit one's palette.

[@Helenmaryjo]

Yes, absolutely xx

Thank you xx

[@Celticcross688]

Those crackers are known in the USA as Saltines.. they are starting to sell them here now in the UK because of COSTCO.. Pink makes the boys wink.. 🎉 Try a “long pedlar” Sloe Gin @bitter Lemon drink Fresh 🍋 Lemon
slice on ice. That will make you giggle..😊

[@Helenmaryjo]

Sounds fab! xx

[@carolhotaddey]

What a brill demonstration. Two beauties working together. Can you make the crack with milk chocolate? I hate dark chocolate. Going to make a Xmas tree, excited to do it xxx

[@Helenmaryjo]

I don't see why not, will be very sweet, but if that's your preference, go for it! xx

[@CynthiaMUrban]

They look yummy! Merry Christmas!

[@marysmith8876]

Looks delicious

[@Helenmaryjo]

It was! xx

[@clarecanavan313]

Did anyone try making the Christmas crack? Mine didn’t work out😂 what happened is the butter separated out into a pool and wouldn’t combine wit the sugar. Want to try it again as have all the crackers and choc ready! What did I do wrong I wonder. Gonna watch it again. Love your vids Helen xxx

[@Helenmaryjo]

That's really strange.... I've made it twice without a problem. Did you put the sugar and butter (pure butter) in together and then let it all melt down..... Can't imagine why that would happen. Hope it works second time around xx
