The day has come, folks! We promised we'd be with you for this unusual Christmas, and with you we shall be. Come sit down by the virtual fire, and let's get this party STARTED!

We'll be giving away presents every hour, and sometimes more often than that. We've also got a film coming up this evening, and of course we will be here to chat the day away. Feel free to just follow along as we chatter away in the ticker if that's what you fancy, but better yet would be if you get involved in the chat by posting comments below - we'll answer them in the ticker, and I promise none shall be overlooked.

Who's here?

Taking you through the early morning hours will be none other than Stephen 'Steps' Lowe, who's been on the team longer than anyone else (you may want to log that information away for one of our quizzes.. hint hint). He'll be joined for a couple of hours by Nadia, one of our translators. Come midday, Martin (that'd be me) will be joining the fun, and I'll be with you all afternoon and into the early hours of the evening. I'll be joined for a bit by Maura, another of our translators.

What will the day hold?

A whole lot, as it happens! We'll have an interactive live ticker all day long, we'll have Christmas messages from.. well, you'll see, we'll have games, quizzes, and other contests, and as if that wasn't enough, we'll have a movie watch-a-long in the evening at around 6pm.

The prizes/gifts

Now, I know what most of you will be particularly interested in is what we have to give away.. so I can reveal that we have, among other things:

  • 20(!!) taster sets of delicious Opyos Luxembourgish gin - each contains three 5cl bottles of standard, dry, and sloe gin.
  • 2 iPhone Xs Max 512gb - one hold, one space gray.
  • 1 Bose Soundtouch 20 (Series III)
  • 2 Beats EP on-ear headphones
  • 4 urbeats3 iPhone earphones
  • 3 B&O E8 2.0 wireless earphones with wireless charging case
  • 1 Bowers & Wilkins A5 wireless speaker
  • Superjhemp Retorns - 1x DVD and 1x Blu-ray
  • 1 luxurious and exclusive RTL beach towel - probably the best prize here
  • 2 RTL picnic bag things
  • 1 RTL thermos/cup thingy
  • Whatever else I can find lying around as I stalk the empty hallways looking for goodies

Note: We've got contests starting nearly every hour on the hour, and the quizzes/games will run for, you guessed it, one hour. There's a countdown above each contest to show how long you've got left before it closes - so get your submissions in on time!
