The One Show's Alex Jones and business journalist Steph McGovern head to Yorkshire to assist the Atwal-Brice clan, whose festive bill is eye-watering.

Foster parents Paul and Michael have cared for over 20 children, and 10 years ago adopted twins Levi and Lucas and recently one-year-old twins Lance and Lotan.

For them, Christmas is all about making memories for their kids and that means no expense spared – 10 Christmas trees at the last count!

Can Alex and Steph convince them that they can still have a magical time without breaking the bank and even save enough to treat the family to a trip to Disneyland in Florida?
