The festive display features a towering replanted tree, miniature decorations in Queen Mary’s Dolls’ House, and intricate garlands in State Apartments.

• A six-metre Nordmann fir tree, sourced from Windsor Great Park, stands in St George’s Hall and will be replanted after the holiday season as part of an eco-conscious tradition.
• For the first time, Queen Mary’s Dolls’ House, celebrating its 100th anniversary, has been adorned with miniature Christmas decorations, including a scaled-down tree and ornaments inspired by 1920s designs.
• The Crimson Drawing Room, part of the Semi-State Rooms used for royal entertaining, features a 4.5-metre Christmas tree decorated in burgundy, red, and gold tones.
• Elaborate garlands, including a 50-metre display with faux sugared fruits and golden bowls, adorn the Waterloo Chamber, while festive wreaths and foliage decorate the castle’s grounds and entrance.
• The Christmas display is open to the public from November 21, 2024, to January 6, 2025, with tickets and additional information available through the Royal Collection Trust.
