Channel 4 is banking on the infectious enthusiasm of Josie Gibson to cure your holiday shopping headaches with the new series, “Ultimate Christmas Gift Guide With Josie Gibson.” In this two-part special, Gibson tackles the annual festive frenzy, aiming to provide viewers with inspiration, budgeting advice, and hopefully, a bit of holiday cheer.
Kicking off on Monday, December 9th, the first episode features a mix of celebrity guests, including reality TV personality Ollie Locke and comedian Jenny Eclair, presumably adding their own unique gift-giving perspectives. Beyond the celebrity cameos, the show will introduce a panel of “experts,” including mixologists, budgeting specialists, and the ever-present gadget gurus.
The series aims to offer gift suggestions for every budget, from stocking stuffers to extravagant splurges, hopefully acknowledging the harsh economic realities many face this year. Gift-wrapping tips, a time-honored tradition of holiday programming, are also promised. Whether Gibson’s wrapping skills are as polished as her presenting remains to be seen.
Part one of “Ultimate Christmas Gift Guide With Josie Gibson” airs Monday, December 9, 2024, at 8:00 PM on Channel 4.
