Lynda Bellingham revealed her plans for Christmas in her final TV interview before her death at the weekend.
The actress, who said she was "obsessed" with Christmas, had hoped for one more festive season after choosing to end her cancer treatment.
In the interview for Loose Women - a show for which she had been a regular panellist for a number of years - she assured her friends and colleagues all would be "fine" and said she longed to be remembered for her honesty.
Bellingham died in the arms of her husband Michael Pattemore at the age of 66 after her cancer spread from her colon to other parts of her body.
Speaking to Janet Street-Porter and Coleen Nolan on Loose Women, she said: "We're going to go to the hotel and have the meal but just my little bit of control - we're going home for pudding and presents. It's exciting.
"My only problem is getting the presents - my sister Jean has been absolutely amazing and I keep sending him (Michael) out for bizarre things."
Bellingham told of her desire for a real Christmas tree, although her husband was not a fan.
"He's spent years trying to put me off a real tree and we're very lucky as we live in a converted psychiatric hospital which has got a really tall ceiling. All I've ever wanted is a real tree," she said.
"'No, don't make me sweep up the pine needles, oh my goodness'," she joked, mimicking Pattemore.
"Hey I'm getting one, I'm getting a real tree. He'll just have to struggle out of the window with it afterwards, that's fine."
Bellingham received a standing ovation as she entered the studio and went on to say how she wished to be remembered: "Just as an honest person. Honesty.
"We've been through this as Loose Women - you can't do Loose Women unless you're honest.
"You can't hide anything, it really is honest when we answer questions. That's why I felt I could write about it and people would trust."
Reflecting on the past year, she said: "What's been so wonderful this year is that I've learnt so much from people. You know when you get so cynical in life - they say yet again you're not right for this part.
"You learn so much and the biggest thing - as you know I'm not very confrontational, I'm a bit of a weed, of course I've become a bit grumpy - it's amazing to be able to say things to people. It's taken me 66 years to find any dignity."
Bellingham said she had never taken the view that her illness was "not fair".
"To be honest we have no right to live forever. You know how I love a survey - a survey says you can live until you're 80, yes lovely, but it's not a given. Somebody else decides when you pop off the twig," she said.
Nolan cried at the end of the interview, but Bellingham consoled her, saying: "Don't cry. It's going to be fine, it will be fine - don't worry."
