Behind the scenes of A Red and Blue Christmas
Ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes of a Crystal Palace Christmas photoshoot? Well, buckle up – we're about to get real festive up in here.
As Palace TV's brilliant behind-the-scenes video reveals, it’s not just about throwing a Santa hat on Jean-Philippe Mateta and hoping for the best.
No, this one requires more careful consideration, more detailed strategic planning: does Oliver Glasner know what a mince pie is, and if not, can Laura Kaminski explain it to him? Should a Yorkshire pudding be part of a Christmas dinner? Can My Cato eat one of the cookies? What's Joel Ward's favourite festive snack?
There’s a bit of football, a lot of red and blue gear, and more nods to the camera than you can shake a mistletoe at... and yes, Jean-Philippe Mateta did indeed wear a Santa hat.
