Great British Christmas Menu (2020) (2020)
From 18 to 29 December 2020, a special Christmas series was shown. Andi Oliver hosted and presented the special series, and comedienne Kerry Godliman took Andi's place as a special guest judge.[15] Twelve previous winners of the show competed to cook their dishes for a six-course banquet originally located at York Hospital. In the first round of each course, various eight of those veteran chefs were selected, and one group of four judges double-blind the other group's dishes in the first rounds. Top three dishes of their respective courses (or four for canapé) are selected for the second round in the judging panel. Godliman is a vegetarian, so chefs cooked vegetarian alternatives of their courses for her.

1x1 - Christmas 2020 Episode 1
December 1, 2020
Tonight, eight former champions compete to create Christmas themed canapes and starters. And in a new twist - they aren't just cooking; they're judging each other too! Four chefs cook, while the other four taste and score their dishes in a blind tasting, with Andi as referee. The roles are then reversed as they take it in turns to both cook and score. With only three chefs out of the eight going forward to cook for the judges in tomorrow's episode competition is hot, and the standard of cooking world class, as the chefs unite to create unforgettable dishes for Britain's key workers.

Tonight, the top three chefs from yesterday's canape and starter rounds cook for the judges. At stake is the chance to cook their dishes as part of a special festive feast for some of the key workers who were the heroes of the pandemic. With Andi Oliver hosting proceedings, there's a vacancy in the Judging Chamber. Joining Matthew Fort and Oliver Peyton is actor and comedian Kerry Godliman, who brings plenty of Christmas cheer. Adding to the challenge, Kerry is a vegetarian, meaning the chefs are also judged on the vegetarian alternatives to their dishes. Also joining the judging panel is actor and nurse Vicky Hall, someone with first-hand experience of working on the frontline of the pandemic. Best known for roles in Teachers, Line of Duty and Casualty, Vicky became inspired to train after shadowing a nurse for a role, and now juggles her work in hospital and on the screen.

The fish and main courses are the heart of any Great British Menu Banquet and, with so many the incredible standard of chefs taking part, opulence, luxury, and mouth-watering food are on the menu. The fish course sees a spectacular salmon and a huge turbot, known as ‘the King of the Sea', cooked in a giant antique copper pan known as a turbot kettle. For mains, there's venison and a roast combining 12 different birds. And the chefs won't just be cooking, they'll be judging each other too. Four chefs cook, while the other four taste and score their dishes in a blind tasting. The roles are then reversed, resulting in incredible cooking, tough criticism and surprising scores.
