So what is a Christmas Bubble and when can I make one? Basically, a Christmas Bubble is a group of people who can celebrate Christmas together from December 23rd to December 27th only, regardless of which tier you live under the restrictions of.
Everyone is allowed to form a Christmas bubble. There are four main rules:
Between 23 and 27 December:
Remember that your household and the other 1 to 2 households in your Christmas Bubble can only spend time together in each others private homes and gardens or in a place of worship or a public outdoor space and not, for example, at a restaurant.
Any friends and family who are not in your Christmas Bubble cannot spend time with you in your home or garden during this period.
If you choose not to form a Christmas Bubble you should continue to follow the tier 2 rules we are currently under.
