Shrewsbury creation Eric the Turkey's latest festive song hopes to bring smiles this Christmas
Shropshire Christmas entertainer Eric the Turkey has made his annual festive return to YouTube with an eagerly-awaited Christmas video release.
Eric is the creation of Adrian Hill, the fun-loving technology manager at Morris Lubricants in Shrewsbury who performs with his fictional band, Jingle and the Bells.
Eric has built up a loyal fan base and he says his supporters wait with bated breath every December for the latest Christmas video instalment about their favourite festive bird, who tends to ruffle a few feathers.
Eric is now back offering important festive tips for viewers – ‘Eric the Turkey’s Christmas Dos and Don’ts’ – to help people avoid a disaster with their December 25 celebrations.

Adrian said: "With all the gloomy news about a cost of living crisis and inflation, I wanted to come up with something upbeat and a bit comical at the same time.
“This song is all about surviving Christmas. I hope this year’s video will chime with viewers who have perhaps experienced a few mishaps of their own with their Christmas Day arrangements in the past.”
Adrian created Eric nine years ago and has written the original song and music and produced the video himself with help from his son, Matt.
