He’s the eccentric guest who brought dessert but forgot the presents. Or could his absent-minded charm be masking a calculated move? Since Uncle Phil is always eager to joke and eat a mince pie, his seemingly guilt-free actions might hide a plan to keep the dessert all for himself.

This free spirit is ready to relax and unwind. May’s rebellious streak and nonchalant attitude have marked her out as the family’s rule-breaker. She said she was peeling parsnips when she was secretly indulging in the Reuben Rarebit. Did May take the dessert just to shake things up on Christmas Day?

Six-year-old Sonny is a clever strategist, always a few steps ahead. Could his brilliance have led him to orchestrate the disappearance of the dessert, using his older sister to reach the shelf? Might they have hatched a plan to steal the dessert together?

Nine-year-old Naya overflows with Christmas excitement, bouncing from one game to the next. Her sweet tooth and playful antics raise suspicions when the dessert goes missing. Was she simply pinching treats from the tempting gingerbread house or is she hiding something bigger behind her adorably mischievous smile?

Assigned to cranberry sauce duty instead of making the dessert, Gamma isn’t pleased about being demoted this year. Normally in charge of the dessert, she’s keeping a close watch on everything. Perhaps her desire to be at the heart of the action drove her to sabotage.

GAMMA – THE MATRIARCH
