I will cook it in the slow cooker on Christmas morning. I serve it hot with the turkey, sausagemeat and stuffing rather than serving pigs in blankets, which I really do not like.

If you serve it hot, and have the capacity eg two ovens/ slow cooker, I would cook it on the day. But if not, cook it the day before. I would serve it cold at a different meal, later in the day if required, or on Boxing Day. Either way it will be fine.

I have roasted ham in the past and usually have it cold on Boxing Day.

Bit of advice if I may? I always do a roast ham for our Christmas dinner, along with turkey etc. however I do normaly do it the day before. I was wondering what advice you would give, if any, to do it the day before Christmas or actually on Christmas Day? I thought it may be better done on Chrsitmas Day and serve it whilst still warm but I also think it would be too much to actually prepare along with everything else. Any advice please?
