Tinsel & Timing – Interactive Christmas Hosting Planner App

Christmas rarely lives in one list. Guest replies, oven timings, shopping, gifts and spending can scatter across notes and messages. Tinsel & Timing brings them into one warm, practical space so you can see what needs your attention.

Step inside your Christmas house. This is an interactive browser app for planning the day you are hosting, from the first guest reply to the last dish leaving the oven. It is a digital download that opens on your own computer, with seven original Christmas photographs, six themed rooms and Evergreen, Cranberry and Midnight colour options.

EXPLORE THE ROOMS

• Guest table — Record replies, household place counts, dietary notes and details to remember. Confirmed guests appear as place cards.

• Christmas kitchen — Build your menu, enter preparation and cooking times, and see a run sheet calculated backwards from your chosen serving time. The oven clock flags overlapping slots. Tick off steps on the Christmas Day service board.

• Market list — Add shopping items or copy ingredient lines from your dishes. Exact duplicates are omitted; quantities are not recalculated.

• Gift room — Keep gift ideas, optional product links, planned and actual costs, and wrapping status together.

• December wall — See dated tasks and your Christmas meal on a month calendar.

• Money desk — Set a season budget and record actual gift costs and other spending without counting gifts twice.

GOOD TO KNOW

The app saves records in the browser profile on your device. Export a JSON backup regularly, especially before clearing browser data or changing computers.
