Between movies, music, gifts, board games and more, everyone has their favourites when it comes to Christmas. This month, RSVP is joined by singer songwriter Aimee for a festive edition of The Best Things in Life, as she tells us the best present she ever received off Santa, who she would love to collaborate on a Christmas track with, and why Bounty sweets will always be her favourite from the Celebrations tin.
Movie to get you in the spirit
Elf with Will Ferrell will always be my absolute favourite.
Song to get you in the mood
I think Mariah Carey has to take the win on this one! I have many memories of myself singing “All I Want For Christmas Is You” at the top of my lungs in the back of the car as a kid. Every time I hear it, all of the childhood Christmas memories come rushing back.
Celebrations sweet
I love the Bounty sweets and have never understood why people overlook them! Bounty for the win.

Present you received off Santa
A giant potato. One year, I hid my letter to find out if Santa was real. I asked for the most bizarre thing so I could say “If Santa can bring me a giant potato then he must be real”. I woke up on Christmas morning to a basketball sized potato. Thanks Santa!
Christmas ad
The Kelloggs Cornflakes ad will always be my favourite, mostly because people used to always think I was the little girl in it.
Hotel for winter break
The Westbury is magical and right in the heart of Dublin.
Winter experience
I love to just grab a hot chocolate and walk up Grafton Street. I love the buzz of the live music, the beautiful lights, people’s smiling faces and the last-minute dash into the shops.
Dream Christmas collab
Michael Bublé would be incredible. I’ve grown up listening to his renditions of the most classic jazz songs and it really inspired me as a young singer to cover songs and make them my own.
Best day over Christmas
Christmas Day is my favourite because I spend the entire day surrounded by family – opening toys with my nieces and nephews, playing Family Catchphrase and just enjoying the time to switch off. It's the little things on Christmas Day that make it so magic. It’s my favourite day of the year!
