It's officially time to get excited about Christmas when the tree goes up. This year, rather than wheel out the same twinkly lights, tinsel and decorations, jazz up the pine needle branches with fun, food-inspired baubles. We've picked the best of the bunch and there's something for everyone like mini ramen bowls, sushi platters, fruit and fizz.
