Ally Langdon, Today Show host

"Favourite is baked ham and prawns, and can't stand Christmas Pudding. "Never put fruit in a dessert!"

Chris Smith, 2GB host

"Love a good lemon-infused turkey and seafood, but happy to leave the mince pies for others."

Darren Palmer, The Block judge

"My very own baked ham. I love to bake it. I love to eat it. I love to see other people enjoy it. It's a Christmas tradition. We also always serve mango, avo and prawn salad (with and without coriander for the weirdos who don't like the flavour)."

Eddie McGuire, Millionaire Hot Seat presenter

"Plum pudding, custard and ice cream."

Scotty Cam, The Block host

"Glazed ham, not too partial to plum pudding."

Lauren Phillips, Nine presenter

"Roast Pork with apple sauce is my favourite. I am a complete crackling thief and I'm not ashamed of it. And as for the worst, mince pies should never have been invented, if you ask me."

Livinia Nixon, 9News Melbourne presenter

"Plum pudding with my Nana's brandy sauce (see my Instagram account for the recipe, I post it every year. Spoiler alert: it ain't healthy!). I'm not mad on mince pies… I think I'm too busy working on the pudding."

Monty Dimond, KIIS FM host

"I have prawns once a year, and that is Christmas Day. I chow down my body weight in them."

Sarah Abo, 60 Minutes presenter

"You can't ask me to just name one! We always have a feast, and none of the food is really Christmas-specific. Of course, prawns are a great opener, but then we're spoilt by the rich tapestry of Syrian cuisine which follows. And it wouldn't be Christmas without cherries to finish. If I had to choose one dish though, it would be the Arabic dish of freekeh with roast chook. So good. One food I grew up hating, but as I've aged have come to thoroughly enjoy, is Christmas pudding."

Sami Lukis, 9Honey columnist

"My favourite is my Mum's classic mango salad: Mango, red pepper, red onion, basil, cilantro with a lime dressing."

Shane Crawford, Nine presenter

"Happy to have just Christmas pudding for lunch and dinner, lots of custard and ice cream."

Shelly Horton, 9Honey presenter

"I love ham off the bone and mangoes and cherries. I tried buying ham off the bone mid-year and it wasn't the same. It has to be at Christmas time; then you eat so much you don't crave it for another 12 months. Oh, and I HATE Christmas pudding and mince pies."

Tracy Vo, 9News Perth presenter

"Love a Christmas ham, but can't stand fruit mince pies."

Neale Whitaker, The Block judge

"Sorry to disappoint, but there's not really anything I can't stand. After 22 years in Australia I've managed to get my head around prawns and seafood — as long as there's turkey with all the traditional bits to follow. And bread sauce."
