6 Music's Breakfast Christmas Party

Lauren gets you into the festive spirit with Christmas songs all show long and has a very special live session from Sarah Cracknell & Tim Burgess at the 麻豆社's Maida Vale studios.

Lauren gets you into the festive spirit with a breakfast party, coming live from the 麻豆社's legendary Maida Vale studios, as we find ourself deep in the Christmas season.

She'll be playing nothing but Christmas songs all show long, including a People's Sleighlist with all the songs picked by you.

Sarah Cracknell of Saint Etienne will be joining for a special stripped-back session, and Tim Burgess of The Charlatans will drop by for a performance of their duet I Was Born On Christmas Day. This will only be the second time they'll have performed the song live together.

Poet Tim Key will offer up some special poems with a yuletide feel, and food writer Meera Sodha will get into some vegan and vegetarian recipes to offer an alternative for this year's Christmas dinner.

And Poppy Ajudha will be drawing on her St Lucian heritage, curating a Caribbean Christmas at the Desert Island Disco with reggae, soca and calypso tunes.
