Danny Malin and Toddla T have joined forces to create a Christmas song all about their love for the humble Yorkshire pudding.
It's not what we ever thought a Christmas song would be about, but we are absolutely here for it.
Youtube star Danny Malin, the face of Rate My Takeaway, has teamed up for the third year running with Toddla T to create the new song 'Santa's From Up North'.
Both being proud Yorkshiremen, the song is a ode to their favourite part of the roast dinner - the Yorkshire pud.
Danny said: "There's nowt folk love more than a good Yorkshire pudding especially on their Christmas dinner.
"I think all families need some Christmas cheer in these winter months. So what better way than to release a classic belter which raises money for children's charities.
"And of course as proud Yorkshiremen, Toddla T from the Steel City and I, there's nothing we like more than a good Yorkshire pudding."
Toddla T said: "It's great to work with my mate Danny again and this year's tune promises to be soft, fluffy and enjoyable as the Yorkshire puddings themselves."
Danny has been filming the music video for the new song at the White Rose Shopping Centre with Leeds-based Motiv Productions.

Every year, Danny donates money from the profits that the song makes to a chosen charity and this year it will be Leeds Hospitals Charity.
He said: "While the song hopes to provoke everyone to have some fun for the festive season, we know that it's a difficult time for many. We've therefore decided to donate money each year to a charity close to our hearts and this year it's Leeds Hospitals Charity."
After making a name for itself over in Leeds city centre, Alfonso's Deli 2.0 has touched down in Horsforth.
Famed for it’s toasted Cuban sandwiches, stacked subs and loaded breakfast bagels - Alfonso's Deli in Leeds' beautiful Grand Arcade serve up some of the best sandwiches in the city.
They've built up such a good reputation in fact, that they have now opened a second deli in the up-and-coming suburb of Horsforth.
Located in a prime location on New Side Road, this deli has a slightly different look to their original space, complete with a beautiful red awning and stuffed to the brim with American memorabilia.

Here you can find fresh Cuban coffee which goes wonderfully with their authentic toasted Cubano sandwiches, perfectly crafted with their house-made bread which are then pressed made-to-order.
New for Horsforth, they're now serving New York deli sandwiches on brand-new house schiacciata bread.
And the bread is as fresh as it gets, made in their own bakery downstairs alongside a selection of New York deli bakes.

Stuffed with toppings such as smoked deli meats, cold cuts, fresh cheese and whatever else you fancy.
Oh and it doesn't stop there, you can also buy a cigar if you fancy it alongside a selection of merch, hot sauces and provisions like tinned fish.
So whether you're stopping by on your way to work for a morning coffee or treating yourself to a stellar sandwich for your lunch, Alfonso's Deli is here to whisk you away to Miami for the afternoon.

They're officially opening their doors to the public this Thursday 15 October, and we just know it's going to go down and absolute storm.
Make sure to pop down and give them a big warm welcome to the neighbourhood.
Inside Proof – Sheffield’s new bookshop, bar and cafe all rolled into one
Clementine Hall
A beloved Sheffield bookshop is back but this time, there's booze.
You may remember back in January when Novel sadly had to close its doors due to circumstances beyond the team’s control.
Since opening in Crookes in 2024, co-owner Katie and the team had experienced ongoing intimidation and harassment, eventually leading to the decision to close the much-loved bookshop and bar indefinitely.
It was a heartbreaking turn of events for a business that had quickly become a much-loved part of the Crookes community.

At the time, it felt like it might be the end of Novel but thankfully, it wasn't. Because Novel is back - but not quite as you might remember it.
Introducing Proof, your new bookshop/cafe/wine/beer bar.
It's basically everything we love in this world rolled into one, and we're big fans of it along with the rest of Crookes.
Of course the book selection is just as brilliant as it was at Novel, with shelves stacked with some of the hottest books around, all hand-picked by Kate, so you know you’re in safe hands when it comes to the reading recommendations.

Great coffee is on hand courtesy of Cloud so you can settle in for a brew and a browse, but if that won't quite cut it they've also got a selection of natural wines and beer on offer. Genuinely, what more could you want?
Just grab a brew, pick up a book and settle in for a while. Is this one of the coolest new openings to hit Crookes? We reckon so.
They're open Fridays and Saturdays 12 - 10:30pm, so make sure you swing by and welcome Proof back to Crookes.
