What is inside
A printable planner and a spreadsheet that work together.
18 pages for the whole season
A countdown calendar, a week-by-week plan, a budget, a gift list, a posting planner, food and drink, a Christmas Day timeline and an after-Christmas page. There are also pages for cards, stocking fillers, guests, decorations and events.
UK posting dates
The 2026 last recommended posting dates from Royal Mail and Parcelforce are on the calendar and in a posting planner with a parcel log. We checked them on 6 November 2026. Carriers can change them, so check royalmail.com before you post.
A budget that adds itself up
First, type your budget for each category and note what you spend. The spreadsheet then shows what you have left and draws a chart. It also has a gift list with an over-budget warning, a card list and a returns tracker. The figures in the picture are examples.
Everything ready at the same time
Type when you want to eat and how long each dish needs, and the spreadsheet works out when to start each one. It only does the clock maths, so always follow the cooking times on your packaging or recipe.
Questions about the planner
Quick answers before you buy.
What do I get?
One printable PDF (18 A4 pages) and one spreadsheet (.xlsx). They are instant downloads, so nothing arrives by post.
Which programs does the spreadsheet work in?
It is built to open in Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets and LibreOffice. It also has no macros and nothing to install. To use Google Sheets, upload the file to Google Drive, then open it with Google Sheets.
Can I print it at home?
Yes. The pages are A4. You can print at home or at a print shop, or fill in the PDF on a tablet with a note-taking app.
Are the posting dates right?
They are the last recommended posting dates for Christmas 2026 from Royal Mail and Parcelforce, checked on 6 November 2026. The carriers can change them, so check royalmail.com before you post. We are not affiliated with Royal Mail or Parcelforce.
Can I return it?
Because it is a digital file, we cannot accept returns once you have downloaded it. If anything does not work, message us on Etsy so we can help. This does not affect your statutory rights.
Was AI used to make it?
Yes. We designed it with the help of an AI assistant, then checked it ourselves before sale.
Where do I buy it?
On Etsy, in our shop WebForSmall. Etsy takes the payment, then gives you the download.
