Summary:
In the special Victorian farm Christmas episodes, [the team] returned to the farm to rebuild a blacksmith's forge and undertake all the elements of a rural Victorian Christmas. There's Christmas food and festivities to prepare from 1850s' mincemeat to butter, bread, Christmas puddings and a multi-bird Christmas pie; gifts to be made, ribbons to be dyed, and old fashioned remedies to be prepared for what ails them.
