I thought this was pretty straightforward for a holiday season puzzle, breezing through in one session in under 40 minutes.

Times Cryptic Jumbo 1590 – 24 December 2022. Blimey!
Hello, and Happy New Year! Our seasonal bling is cleared away but there is still a plentiful supply of chocolate to polish off – just how I like it.
This was, I’m sure, the first time I’ve ever done a Jumbo in less than half an hour. So thank you very much, setter, for that welcome gift.
Times Cryptic No 28488 – Saturday, 31 December 2022. Break out the bubbly!
Nice to see Champagne getting a mention in the NYE crossword. A medium difficulty puzzle, that should have left you all well set up for the evening to follow!
Times Cryptic No 28482 – Saturday, 24 December 2022. Well, London Cabbies may have the Knowledge …
I remember a fascinating film years ago about how London cabbies acquire the “Knowledge” of London streets. Unlike them, I struggled with the knowledge to get through this puzzle.
