A Cumbrian Christmas

BBC One - Countryfile, A Cumbrian Christmas

The team learn about one Cumbrian farming family's Christmas traditions.

The team return to the Cumbrian fells to learn of 16-year-old shepherdess Katie and her family's Christmas traditions on their upland farm.

We’re back in the Cumbrian fells with 16-year-old shepherdess Katie and her family on their upland farm for this year’s Countryfile Christmas. Sammi Kinghorn and Joe Crawley join in with Katie’s festive traditions. 
 
Katie shows Sammi just how busy the farm is over the holiday period, checking up on the livestock and tackling daily maintenance. Sammi also discovers how Katie gets the perfect photo of their Herdwick sheep for the family Christmas card. 
 
Joe helps Katie and her mum Kirsten harvest apples for brewing their hot Christmas mulled cider, whilst Sammi is on the hunt for a Christmas jumper from a local knitwear specialist using wool from nearby farms. 
 
Adam is at a Christmas parade with a difference as he joins 70 decorated tractors in north Warwickshire for the annual Sheepy Christmas Tractor Run. And finally, with Katie’s donkeys, sheep and cows settled for the evening, she is joined by Joe and Sammi by the fireside to wish everyone a merry Christmas.
