The survey, carried out for BBC's Good Food magazine by Immediate Media Insider, showed that many diners will be tucking into trifles, chocolate cakes or other desserts rather than the more traditional pudding.

The much-maligned festive mainstay that is the Brussels sprout emerged comparatively favourably, with 64% of respondents saying they liked the vegetable (10% higher than pudding). Reflecting the increasingly diverse range of diets and tastes, 11% will have a vegetarian alternative instead of turkey, and 12% will opt for a beef dish. However, elsewhere tradition remains strong: 14% of respondents said there'd be family outrage if there were any significant changes to the regular festive menu.

While the survey found Christmas dinner remains the most popular of annual seasonal activities, above opening presents, everyone - and even every family - will have their own distinct preferences. Many love the week or more of turkey sandwiches that inevitably follows Christmas Day, whereas others have had more than enough of the meat before they've even finished the main meal. Ditto turkey broth. And we can't count the amount of creative recipes people have devised to try and mask the taste of a certain sprout.

Some Christmas dishes are so divisive that some inventive people have even come up with radical alternative uses for the foods in question. For example, one group of British scientists recently came up with a novel way of powering Christmas tree lights: by utilising a Brussels sprout battery.
