What’s your favourite Christmas dessert? DE HQ have found the top 4 most popular Christmas desserts in the UK, did yours make the cut? (get it?!)

Christmas dinner is the time of year everyone waits for (or is that just me?) but what sets the meal off just right, is the dessert, when you have a good Christmas dessert, your evening is sorted. Does your family have a traditional dessert that you crack open once a year to gorge on? Or are you an adventurous lot and try something new every year?
Darwin Escapes HQ are all about the desserts, so we thought we would share our top 4 Christmas desserts with you all during this festive season…

Christmas Pudding

This is a traditional British dessert, originating from Medieval England with one of the earliest recipes found in a book written by Mary Kettilby in 1714! The custom of having a Christmas pudding was passed on to different part of the world by British colonists, and it is has become a common dessert in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and the Republic of Ireland. Traditionally a penny will be inside the pudding for you to find (be careful not to swallow it!), if you wanted to make it from scratch, follow this recipe.

Trifle

An English dessert made with fruit, which has become a popular Christmas dessert over the years. The bottom of the trifle is jelly, with a thin layer of sponge fingers (usually soaked in sherry), then a layer of custard and topped with whipped cream (the best bit). There are various versions of a trifle, from strawberry to a full chocolate version, and if you’re a Friends fan, you’ll know all about Rachel’s shepherd’s pie mix up! Avoid that horrible mistake and follow this recipe for a meat-free trifle.

Yule Log

This delicious treat is a traditional Christmas dessert in Belgium, Switzerland, France and former French colonies. Usually made from a sponge cake, which is iced and then rolled up before being topped with chocolate icing, a fork is then lightly dragged through the icing, to create a bark effect with powdered icing dusted on the top to create ‘snow’, all helping to make it resemble a miniature yule log. It is then decorated, usually with berries and sometimes with miniature ornaments to create a Christmas scene! Try the traditional recipe here.

Black Forest Gateau

Consisting of 3 layers of chocolate sponge cake (starting off well here), they are sandwiched with whipped cream and cherries. As well as being infused with speciality German liquor, called Shcwarzwalder Kirsch, from which the gateau takes its name, however other countries may change the alcohol used, or include no alcohol at all. The gateau is then decorated with whipped cream, chocolate shavings and maraschino cherries. This was a staple Christmas dessert for my family growing up! Take a crack at creating this beauty by following this recipe.

Is your favourite Christmas dessert in our top 4 list? Everyone has that one dessert that reminds them of the festive season, whether you gorge yourself on all the mince pies or splurge on a professionally made cake, we’d love to hear about your Christmas dessert tradition!

Relax and Unwind with us at Ezina Spa

There are endless reasons you should visit a spa, but we’ve put together a list of the top four reasons to really convince you

If you have never been to a spa before you might not be aware of all the benefits regular spa visits can bring. The UK views a spa trip as a ‘treat’ for now and again, but other European countries see ‘spa’ as a lifestyle. The spa becomes a place where families gather to spend the day and business partners visit for brain storming meetings. If we see spa days more as a way of investing in ourselves, we will get so much more out of the experience.

for your health

As well as offering social and relaxation benefits, spa treatments have physical health benefits too! Ancient records have referenced massage therapy, including the Greeks, Romans, Japanese and Egyptian cultures promoting the health benefits.

Regular treatment can have positive effects on muscle ailments by softening the tissues, as well as reducing inflammation and helps to soften and stretch scar tissue. Massage therapy can even stimulate the healing of connective tissues and muscles, and although more research is needed for scientific recommendation, studies have found that it can help with nausea, anxiety and depression for those undergoing chemotherapy.

Studies have also shown that hydrotherapy pools (like the one at Hawkchurch Resort & Spa can improve the severity of lower back pain. When used along with standard therapy, the pool can help general pain, help to increase range of motion and improve muscle strength. Taking to the spa can improve all aspects of your health, even if you are complaint free, the simple act of relaxing will sooth any tension your muscles are holding.

for social time

A spa is the perfect place to stash your phone away in the locker, take some time away from scrolling and really relax, spending time with your friends and family.

Us humans are social creatures living in an ever increasing anti-social world, with screen time taking more importance than quality one-on-one time. But socialising is important to your health, having a strong, supportive network impacts your mental and physical health.

The Pschoeuroendorinology Journal published a study stating extroverts have the highest level of immune system, meaning they are less likely to catch the common cold. Spending time with family and friends also helps to fight off depression and anxiety, as well as making you more productive and keeping your brain sharp.

And let’s not forget, socialising is fun! Laughing and relaxing together is the most important reason to book your spa day.

for relaxation

In our digitally, fast paced lives, stress has now become unavoidable, making it essential to find ways to de-stress and relax our minds. Regularly visiting spas helps to decrease stress levels and fight long term stress. Long term stress affects us emotionally, mentally and even physically with the hormone cortisol in excessive production, which is highly damaging.

Cortisol over-production creates ‘free radical’ hormones, which attack the brain cells by actually punching holes in the brain cells walls causing them to rupture. Eating junk food and drinking too much alcohol to relax is actually producing more ‘free radicals’, where as a spa provides the right quality of relaxation, helping to release endorphins, such as serotonin and dopamine, to reduce stress levels and slow the excessive cortisol production.

There are many proactive steps you can take to fight off long term stress, and regularly utilising your nearest spa facilities is one of them.

for fighting depression

Depression affects more than 350 million people worldwide, learning to combat this debilitating illness is now essential to everyday life. Massage therapy is hugely beneficial to those struggling with depression, as physiologically it will help to balance the hormone system by reducing the cortisol level by half and giving a boost to the serotonin level (the ‘happy hormone’), helping to bring the body back to its natural state.

The physical touch aspect of a massage is often undervalued, depression can leave people feeling alienated, separated from the world and often feeling lonely, a massage offers a compassionate touch, soothing understanding and giving them a connection outside of depression.

The type of massage will be discussed beforehand, as massages can awaken and stimulate, while others can cocoon and offer a gentle touch to soothe those in need. Your therapist is there to help you and give you what you need to help heal.

A spa day can impact your emotional, mental and physical health more than what you knew. Book your spa day today!

This beautiful spa on a 5 Star, award-winning park, is open to all!

Entertainment is a huge part of what we do here at Darwin Escapes, we want to make your stay as enjoyable as possible! Everything is family fun, so we cater to the children as much as the adults. Our New Pines Holiday Home Park entertainments team is expertly managed by Rebecca Twist, or Becci as she is known to everyone.

Becci has been with the entertainments team for around 8 years now; she loves every part of her job and how much it varies from day to day! Every week she sits down to plans new activities and events for the week ahead – so the children get to do something different every day! Rebecca likes to do activities that the children wouldn’t be able to do at home, saying she likes it to be “as messy as we can possibly get it” and what kid doesn’t like to get messy?! She makes sure all activities are scheduled, so her team always know what is going on and when. Every activity can be adapted for all ages, from toddlers to tweens, keeping everyone happy and involved!

Obviously during peak season, school holidays and bank holidays, our resorts become a flurry of activity and fill up with more children for the entertainments team to have fun with! So with the warmer weather and the influx of children, the activities jump up a notch for Becci; she comes up with different theme days for one day every week during the school summer holidays. So from the Under the Sea day, to Pirate day and Superhero day, all the day’s events and activities will revolve around this theme. For Superhero day, the team started early and handmade outfits and capes for the kids to dress up in for the day! Once the kids came along they helped them cut out masks and decorate them so they could be any superhero they wanted to be, they then gave the kids Spongebob Squarepants cameras (there is no better superhero for me…) and a scavenger hunt list; in groups of hero’s they then travelled the park completing the hunt! The groups were placed so that the bigger children could stay with the younger ones and everyone could enjoy it together – even the grounds team and receptionists got involved with photos and poses with each group for the hunt. Becci loves that everyone at Darwin is so willing to get involved and have fun, saying “I never have trouble asking for help, everyone is always happy to help out”.

Out of all the activities Becci plans and gets involved in, her favourite is the evening ‘Rangers Fun Time’ show for families. This involves lots of things, starting at 7:30 and running for an hour, the whole team manage to pack quite a lot of activities in and change the show every day! Lots of party dances are performed by the team and copied by the wonderful kids on the dance floor is brilliant to see, the fun that both team and kids have is infectious! They play games, like Jenga competitions or moving a balloon around a group without using your hands – this is a lot harder than it sounds! Or my personal favourite, Heads Up, which is like charades but in my opinion harder, this always has Becci, her team, the children and their families in fits of giggles with the great descriptions they come up with! Charlie Bear often drops in for a visit and joins in on the fun and the party dances, with Becci telling him all about the day’s activities. The kids love to share this time with cheeky Charlie and it’s a great photo opportunity for the parents too. Becci loves this time because it makes her laugh and she gets to see all the families together having fun and enjoying their holiday breaks, and with this much fun on offer in the Cabaret Lounge its not hard to see why she loves it!

All summer the team teach the children songs and dance routines and then, at the end of the summer, it is all put together for the New Pines Music Mash Up Show! Becci adores this ‘end of summer’ show, as the families get to see how hard the children have practiced and how excited the kids get when they are performing. Songs from Hairspray, to a pair of children doing sign language along to The Script’s hit ‘Hall of Fame’ there is something for everyone. Becci’s stand out performance this year is an adorable 5 year old boy singing Grease Lightening with his twin sisters as his backing sisters – how cute does this sound! There is also a little girl singing Annie’s song ‘Dumb Dog’ and Becci will be making a star of her own dog Daisy, who will take to the stage with the little girl – Daisy is a darling, very beautiful and will love the attention!

With Becci’s base resort New Pines Holiday Home Park being a holiday home owners resort, Becci enjoys the feeling of them all being one big family – she knows how corny that sounds but it is the truth, and from walking the resort with her I can vouch for that. She gets to know each family and child personally and builds a great relationship with them as she gets to see them almost every weekend throughout the year -not just on the summer holidays. Becci loves to see how much the kids enjoy the activities she comes up with however they may not always go to plan, for example, at the sports day event it rained so they moved it all inside and the kids still had a blast! Planning for everything so no one is left bored! From nature walks and karaoke to arts and crafts and colouring competitions; Becci does a fantastic job at making each activity new and exciting for the kids, and she loves every second of it!

So why don’t you pop in and see Becci and her team? They are always there to help and have fun!
