The Cambridges are getting into the holiday spirit! Prince William, Duchess Kate Middleton, and their three delightful children are all set to "spend most of the holidays" at Anmer Hall in Norfolk, according to a source exclusively speaking with Closer Weekly. It's no secret that Christmas is Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis' favorite time of year. The excitement in the air is palpable as they gear up for a magical holiday season filled with family traditions and festive cheer.
Young Hearts Set on Adventure
It seems like the young royals have big dreams this holiday season. "George and Charlotte have been begging William to take them to Lapland to meet Father Christmas and all the elves and reindeers," reveals the insider. "And George is absolutely dying to see the Northern Lights, too!" While William hasn't made any promises yet, he and Kate are determined to create their own enchanting winter wonderland at Anmer Hall this year. With travel restrictions still in place, it might take until next year for these exciting adventures to come true.
Gifts Galore: What's on Their Wish Lists?
The excitement has been so high that the children sent their letters to Santa Claus a whole month early. So, what's on their Christmas lists this year? Well, Charlotte has her eyes set on a pretty watch and a new camera, while George is dreaming of an outdoor adventure kit complete with a tent, torch, cooking kit, and walkie-talkies. As for little Louis, he's hoping for a firefighter's outfit. These thoughtful gifts reflect their growing interests and imaginations, making this holiday season even more special.

A Royal Christmas at Sandringham
The Cambridges will travel across the estate to spend Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with Queen Elizabeth at Sandringham. This is a cherished tradition that was unfortunately canceled last year due to the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. This year, however, the guest list has been carefully curated to include only immediate family members. Each guest will be required to take a COVID-19 test up to two days before the events to ensure everyone's safety.
"You should see inside Sandringham. The house is adorned with Christmas trees scattered throughout, each one beautifully decorated by professionals in red and gold, and stunning lanterns lighting up the space," the source shares. "The family enjoys a black-tie dinner on Christmas Eve and on Christmas Day, they attend church in the morning followed by a lavish lunch and fun family games like charades afterward. It's a time for togetherness and joy."
Adapting to the Times
The Queen has made the decision to cancel a pre-Christmas lunch at Windsor Castle for a larger group of guests set for early next week. With concerns about the Omicron variant rising, Elizabeth felt it was best to skip the event this year, which was set to host around 50 people. However, the plans to host immediate family at Sandringham are still on track, ensuring a cozy and intimate holiday gathering.
A Special Family Performance
William and Kate recently shared their 2021 Christmas card with the world, featuring a delightful photo taken during a trip to Jordan earlier this year. In the picture, Charlotte, George, and Louis were all smiles, looking like mini versions of their parents. The children have a big surprise in store for their grandmother this holiday season. "Like with most schools in the UK, George and Charlotte's Christmas plays were canceled this year because of COVID, so they're planning to put on their own performance for the queen, with Louis too," the insider explains.
