Christmas means just one thing in the life of the average five-star-fatigued luxury travel editor: your email inbox goes even more over the top.

Take the media release for decorative glass baubles filled with gin so you can “gingle all the way through Christmas”. Or the airlines’ festive in-flight menus. Gingerbread roulade en route to Munich anyone? Or chocolate mint domes and yule log over Alaska?
