Have yourself a quirky little Christmas in 2026!
We may be in the midst of ongoing heatwaves here in London, but make the most of it while you can – December will be here before you know it. One day you’re necking tinned cocktails on a picnic blanket in a packed summer park, the next you're looking up mulled wine recipes and wrapped in a duvet watching The Nightmare Before Christmas.
But that’s no bad thing. December brings with it an abundance of wonderful goings on, from quaint Christmas markets, camp pantomimes, wholesome carol services, cool seasonal pop-ups and stellar Christmas light displays.
Time Out’s editorial team started thinking about Christmas long before the first autumn leaves flutter to the ground, and we're ready to show you some more leftfield, imaginative ways to celebrate the season. Check back for everything you need to plan the perfect Christmas 2026, London style.
