Christmas time is family time, which means catching up with all the people that grew up with, even if you don’t see them very often anymore. Spending long, relaxed days with your parents, as well as those long-lost cousins you used to make mischief with, can really bring out that impish inner child again, making it the perfect time for pranks!
Scottish singer Judy Brown knows this all too well and has a hilarious Christmas pastime: winding her father up. Taking advantage of his love for Ferrero Rocher chocolates, a deliciously sweet and nutty bite, she successfully pranked him back in 2016 by inserting rogue brussels sprouts in amongst his favorite treats, carefully wrapped as to avoid detection.

Now the brussels sprout, AKA the devil’s testicle, is a notoriously nasty and universally hated vegetable that has somehow found its way onto the traditional Christmas table. The gulf in expectations between a delicately crunchy ball of chocolatey goodness and this disgusting dwarf-cabbage could not be greater, and therein lies the true beauty of this prank. But 2 years later, with poor dad still traumatized and extremely wary, could she somehow manage to pull it off again?
