New photo Pity the parents forking out for the grottiest Christmas grottos in Britain

They are supposed to be magical Christmas experiences full to the brim with merriment.

Every year, enchanting adverts promising ice rinks, seasonal stalls and Santa’s Grottos lure thousands of families to Christmas experiences across the country.

But, from an ice rink without any ice to soggy fields reminiscent of a World War I trench, these festive failures will not only put a dampener on your Christmas spirit — they could extinguish it completely...  

North Wales: Visitors to the Reindeer Lodge in Mold were drawn by the thrill of meeting Santa's favourite animals

North Wales: But before saying hello to Dasher, Prancer, Rudolf and the rest, they first had to endure queuing up in a swamp like field

Bath: The poster for this year's Santa South West Christmas Village at Bath & West Showground promised snow-topped stalls and rides

The reality in Bath: A few picnic tables were strewn across the windswept concrete and puddles, and once inside the sorry state of adventure proved the final straw

Milton Keynes: This colourful poster of Santa promised the authentic and warm appearance of St Nicholas

Milton Keynes: But this was Santa's threadbare outfit at the 2013 Winter Wonderland which was ho-ho-horrible

Sutton Coldfield: Television style guru Laurence Llwelyn-Bowden (pictured) helped design the set

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

SATC star Kim swears by gym sessions with Russian kettle bells (traditional cast-iron weights) and the South Beach Diet to give her the body she wants. To avoid overeating, Kim has a radical diet trick – squirting lemon juice on her leftovers – so she won’t carry on picking.

Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
