With 79 million turkeys about to join the EU (Farage et al) there should be no shortage come Xmas - and their visas will all expire on Christmas Eve, at the latest, as well.
Now out of the EU, the UK can scrap their oppressive rules and regulations and allow anyone who wants to, to drive a lorry - providing they hold a provisional licence as a minimum. And the governments 'drive 'til you drop' campaign will see lorries on the road for far longer.
Abandoned festival tents will be set up next to fields in East Anglia to allow red wall brexiteers to join the great 'pick for Britain'* campaign, to ensure there are sprouts a' plenty come the festive day (that should get the wind farms going eh folks, Boris).
And to keep down the (ever rising) costs, folk will be able to buy meat direct from the farms - though they will need to slaughter the animals once they have got them home. Instructions can be found on youtube (in Polish).
Boris Johnson - a man of ideas and action, eventually
* another of Johnsons bright ideas - I wonder what happened to that ?

Or not.
If you doing a Xmas run to Holland can I put in a non turkey related order?
Kate Martin, of the Traditional Farm Fresh Turkey Association (TFTA) -
"This situation with turkeys is caused by the fact that European labour is no longer available to us, and they are skilled workers who have been coming to us for years.
“People are now missing a whole host of their workforce that they have been training and investing in over the last however many years, and those workers are no longer available for us to use on a seasonal basis — they will go find work on mainland Europe instead.”
Mark Rofe, who owns ChristmasTrees.co.uk, said that UK growers were reporting higher demand for locally grown conifers, “especially from clients who would usually import their trees from Europe, but are keen to avoid any red tape that could increase costs or cause delays for what is of course a highly seasonal and time-sensitive business”.
The one constant is the complaint about the cost in time and money that the 'red tape' (extra regulations, forms and checks) is having on business. Why did the brexiteer numpties not grasp that making it that much harder to trade with our nearest countries was certain to cause problems ?
