Summary

- Royal family will celebrate Christmas at Sandringham estate.

The Palace of Holyroodhouse in Scotland has unveiled its elaborate Christmas decorations, transforming its spaces with festive cheer. Visitors can admire two 12-foot trees, a grand mantle garland in the throne room, and seasonal foliage adorning the dining table, with access extended until January 5, 2026.
Despite the stunning holiday display, the royal family, including King Charles and Queen Camilla, will be celebrating Christmas elsewhere. Their traditional festivities take place at the Sandringham estate in Norfolk, England, a private occasion involving gift exchanges and a Christmas Day church service.
While Holyroodhouse is open to the public, other royal residences also showcase holiday decor. Meanwhile, Balmoral Castle experienced a temporary closure due to early winter weather but has since reopened.
