Christmas Eve with MFR
 
Christmas is almost here and for many of us, this year’s festivities may be somewhat atypical. But if you’re still dreaming of a big Christmas Eve dinner with family and friends, MFR has a few ideas to get you in the mood.

In the new Docu-comic Histories of French cuisine, you’ll find inspiration for many delicious dishes for Christmas and beyond. Next, because holidays wouldn’t be the same without mutinous grumps at the dinner table, The Old Geezers are back and ready to amuse you with their hilarious adventures in a new volume.

Finally, it is time to open presents! Whether you choose to introduce your kids to a classic comic like Boule & Bill or solve Big Marsu’s Puzzle all together, your choice will be sure to delight.

The MFR team wishes you happy holidays!
