While at our amazing Hits Live shows in Birmingham and Liverpool on 19th and 20th November, we got the chance to chat to all the incredible artists backstage. Since we were feeling Christmassy we asked them some quick-fire questions about how they spend Christmas!

We chatted to Joel Corry, Anne-Marie, Becky Hill, Mimi Webb, The Wanted, The Script, Tom Grennan, Years & Years and James Arthur to find out who they played in the Nativity when they were at school, what they think is key to every Christmas dinner as well as their favourite Christmas song.

Check out what they had to say!

Artists tell us who they played in the school Nativity:

From the starring role of Mary, to a random tree in the background, we had them all reminiscing about the part they played in their school Nativity.

Artists tell us their Christmas Dinner traditions:

Arguably the most important part of Christmas Day, everyone has their own idea of the perfect Christmas dinner. We asked artists "Christmas Dinner isn't complete without...?"

Artists tell us their favourite Christmas song:

If you've ever wondered what music your favourite artists listen to, here's what they're playing over the festive period. We got some great song suggestions and some not so great renditions of classic Christmas tunes.
