Christmas has arrived at the Hutton household, and they’re celebrating it 1852 style in this episode of Colonial House. The family gets creative making handmade gifts with only the limited supplies that would have been available to the colonial settlers. Dad Ross brings home a Christmas tree, using native greenery in place of the typical pine, while mum Dorothy gets busy preparing Christmas dinner with all the trimmings, including roast chicken. And, with just three days left of their experiment living in the colonial era, the family gathers for a festive feast before revealing their handmade gifts.
