Christmas dinner can’t be successful without amazing food, so a talented chef is very necessary, which is why I’m inviting Monica Geller (Courteney Cox-Friends). As a vegetarian, I have to hope that her culinary skills are not limited to preparing a roast turkey, but the intuition tells me she can make an impressive veggie dinner too. Worst case scenario, I will need to eat all of her famous cookies since other guests will be too full after the meaty dinner. Given that Monica is a neat freak, I also secretly hope that she will tidy after dinner while I take a well-deserved nap after eating all her food.
Personally, I really enjoy listening to Christmas songs, but this year instead of Spotify, I’d prefer a live version from Jaskier (Joey Batey- The Witcher). His music talent will bring a lovely atmosphere to the dinner, and he would never lose an opportunity to gain new fans. I count on unique festive songs, such as “Toss a Coin to your Santa” or “All I want for Christmas is Geralt in the Bath.” I’m sure other guests will agree that it’s much better than another boring playlist with Wham! and Mariah Carey.
I’m also inviting Beth Harmon (Anya Taylor-Joy- The Queen’s Gambit) to learn how to play chess from the best. Why not start my New Year’s resolutions as soon as possible? Having Beth at the Christmas dinner will inspire me to start. I need to get better at playing chess so when I play with my flatmates after the Christmas break, I'll surprise them with my new skills. I can also count that Beth will dress for the occasion, which I can’t say about Jaskier…
Next, Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage- Game of Thrones) will be another guest. Not going to lie, the main reason I’m inviting him is that he needs to clarify what he meant by saying that Bran (Isaac Hempstead Wright) had the best story. (Did Bran, really?) In general, Tyrion seems a fun companion for the dinner and, given his intelligence, possibly a worthy opponent for Beth in chess. I just hope he won’t drink all the mulled wine.
Let’s not forget that Christmas is a religious event and food is not the most important part (presents are, of course). So as not to completely lose this holy atmosphere, I’m inviting The Sexy Priest (Andrew Scott) from Fleabag (2016-19). I'm sure he will tell us more about the meaning of Christmas and due to his charisma, the speech will be much more interesting than in school. Given that Monica is Jewish, Tyrion calls himself a god of a particular part of a woman’s body, and Jaskier belongs to another world, the Priest might struggle to convince them of his views. However, I really want to hear their discussion and pray they will be too distracted to notice that I’ve eaten all the sweets.
