The annual display at East London's Museum of the Home illustrates how Christmas has evolved over centuries, showcasing the distinctive traditions and customs from past to present.
This year's exhibition further enriches the experience by adding narratives about the families who occupied these historic spaces, making the celebration of Christmas more personal and relatable.
As we walk through the decorated living rooms, it becomes evident that many of our cherished holiday traditions are relatively recent, contrasting sharply with historical celebrations.
The display also provides a glimpse into potential future Christmas celebrations, engaging visitors in a conversation about how practices around this festive season might evolve by 2049.
