Homes on TV: Festive property TV guide

aboutproperty.co.uk's weekly TV guide for homeowners and property investors for the festive period, covering Monday December 19th to Wednesday December 28th.

Highlights
As the festive season gets into full swing, property TV takes a back seat to festive classics such as Snow White,
A Christmas Carol and, errr, Honey I Shrunk the Kids.

There are, however, a couple of festive editions of your property favourites to look forward to including The Winter Flying Gardener in which Chris Beardshaw highlights the beauty of Britain's gardens in winter (Tuesday 1130 BBC2). The Gardeners' World Christmas special (Friday 2000 BBC2, repeated Saturday 1100 BBC2) includes a range of festive ideas including creating stunning table decorations and how to dispose of your Christmas tree.
