The annual Christmas RTÉ Guide, a much-loved Irish festive tradition, lands on shelves across the country from Monday, December 12th.

The RTÉ Guide are delighted, once again, to work with award-winning Irish illustrator Annie West on the front cover of this year’s bumper Christmas issue. Annie specialises in highly detailed pen and ink drawings, with the emphasis on detail. And this year’s cover is all about the detail...and is inspired by the fact that this year, for the first time in recent years, we can all finally be reunited and back together to celebrate a ‘proper’ Irish Christmas at home – with many, many guests! And just in case Annie hasn’t packed in enough guests (she did!) we invited along a few more! Inside you can meet Andrea Boccelli and his family; Tom Hanks; MasterChef’s newest judge Dubliner Anna Haugh; Brendan and Jenny O’Carroll; Jennifer Zamparelli; Tommy Tiernan and Daniel Craig – to mention just a few. And there’s a wonderful original short story from children’s author Judi Curtain; plus our usual legendary festive TV and film planners, competitions, puzzles and lots, lots more. Get that highlighter out of the drawer, its moment has come!

The RTÉ Guide Christmas double issue is on sale now, packed with the all-important two-week TV listings (from December 24 2022 to January 6, 2023), 14-day Christmas TV and Movie planners, exclusive celebrity interviews, Christmas food, fashion, puzzles, competitions and plenty more for the festive season ahead!
