The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge teamed up with Britain's Queen of TV cookery Mary Berry to cook up a festive feast to thank people connected to their patronages who will be working over the Christmas period.

The events were filmed by Shine TV for the BBC as part of an hour-long TV special called A Berry Royal Christmas, which airs on December 16.

UPDATE (16 DEC 2019): The full program is now available on YouTube: The Duchess looked festive in a new red and white patterned dress from Alessandra Rich's AW19 collection (US$1,940). 
Crafted in Italy from lightweight silk, it's printed with small polka dots and petals. It has structured padded shoulders and the pleated skirt falls to a sweeping midi length. The off-the-rack dress features a keyhole neckline but Kate's version has a pussy-bow tie. The dress is currently reduced to $970 at Net-a-Porter, and down to $1,110 at Matches Fashion. It is full price at Moda Openadi.
It appears Kate wore the diamond and pearl earrings on permanent loan from the Queen.

Mary Berry accompanied William and Kate on several of their engagements throughout the year, where she got to learn more about the charities the royal couple support. The visits will be highlighted during the TV special. The photo below was taken during Kate's engagement at RHS Garden Wisley in September.

Mary also accompanied Kate to a private visit to The Brink, the UK’s first dry bar set up by Action on Addiction.

In this never-before-seen photo, the Duchess is wearing a dark ribbed dress topped with a black belt and black suede boots. I will update the post if outfit details become available.
UPDATE (16 DEC 2019): Clearer pictures of the dress have become available via screen grabs and it's believed to be the bottle green Massimo Dutti High Neck Dress with Belt (US$130).

It looks like Kate is wearing Christmas wrapping 😄 I don't like the dress but I love the idea of this TV special. The Cambridges are so thoughtful when it comes to honoring the men and woman who devote their time to care for others 💛

I want to hate the dress but I can't. Look at her huge smile in the pic number two. She looks so happy. This dress is so festive.

I like the dress better without the pussy bow, but the bow works for a Christmas TV show and shows up well against the dark apron.

The Duchess looks lovely, certainly a festive look. Red is definitely her colour. I quite like the neckline, bow. This style of dress looks good on the Duchess, she has the height. I prefer what she is wearing in the last picture, more modern. It would be great to see more pic's if they were available.

I watched the special on YouTube. Kate is wearing the mystery hoop earrings with the black dress she's worn a few times this year. Then, when Luke Evans is singing, they show a full body shot of her in the red. She appears to have on her Gianvito Rossi red suede pumps.
