For many British citizens worldwide, Christmas is a time to return home and spend time with each other. Traditional symbols of Christmas, such as trees decorated with tinsel, colourful baubles, a star and tiny fairy lights and a Santa Claus sitting in his sleigh with a sack of gifts pulled by reindeer, will be displayed all across the UK. Lunch on Christmas Day for British people typically includes roast turkey, roast potatoes, vegetables, gravy, cranberry sauce and a Yorkshire pudding, followed by a dessert of Christmas Pudding, set on fire before eating.

不論身在何方，圣誕節都是英國人合家歡聚的佳節。傳統的圣誕象征有用銀光閃閃的錫紙、五彩斑斕的飾品、璀璨閃耀的星星和美麗的仙女燈裝飾的常青松樹，還有坐在雪橇上的圣誕老人和身邊馴鹿拉著的一袋禮物。圣誕節當天的午餐是一年中最豐盛的大餐，有令人垂涎欲滴的烤火雞、烤土豆、烤蔬菜和美味的肉汁、紅莓醬和約克郡布丁等，還有傳統的圣誕甜點——火焰布丁。
