If you've ever over-indulged on Christmas Day, this witty and nostalgic book is for you.

Christmas dinner was done, 'twas one of the greats! Where once was a banquet just lay empty plates. The prawns and bean salad and ham were so yummy, now all that remained were the guests with full tummies...

Is there such a thing as being TOO FULL for Christmas pud? A poetic yarn that has become the stuff of festive legend, this special anniversary edition of Aunty Donna's modern classic, Always Room for Christmas Pud, will allow you to have your pud and eat it too.

Illustrated by James Fosdike.

About the Author

Aunty Donna (Author) Aunty Donna are an absurdist comedy collective from Melbourne made up of Mark Samual Bonanno, Broden Kelly, Zachary Ruane, Sam Lingham, Max Miller and Thomas Zahariou. In 2020, they released their Netflix series Aunty Donna's Big Ol' House of Fun to rave reviews. Their energetic live shows have seen them sell out theatres all around the world, and they've created hit web series such as 1999 and Glennridge Secondary College. In 2018, they released and toured a musical comedy album called The Album, and they're now nearing 500 episodes of The Aunty Donna Podcast. In 2022, they released their debut book, Always Room for Christmas Pud, inspired by a cult-favourite sketch that's been viewed over five million times. Most recently, the group created and starred in Aunty Donna's Coffee Cafe, produced for ABC and now streaming on Netflix in Australia and New Zealand. Their next world tour, DREM, is going global through 2025. James Fosdike (Illustrator) James Fosdike was discovered by Wil Anderson on a dark and stormy night, in a basket at his front door. Never one to turn away those less fortunate, Wil took James under his wing (he's secretly a bird) and enrolled James in the Sir Douglas Mawson Institute of TAFE, specifically a Certificate IV course in Advertising and Graphic Design. Unfortunately James became lost in the off-campus TAFE lifestyle and failed to complete the course.
