Princess Catherine will continue her royal Christmas tradition for the fifth year in a row.
Kensington Palace announced the annual ‘Together at Christmas’ carol service will take place on Friday, December 5, 2025. With the service taking place at Westminster Abbey in London, England.
“Combining traditional and modern elements to encompass people of all faiths and none, the service will see the world-renowned Westminster Abbey choir sing some of the nation’s most beloved carols,” the official statement read.
Hollywood favourites will also be in attendance this year for either a musical performance or just readings. The A-listers include Kate Winslet, Hannah Waddingham, Dan Smith, and Chiwetel Ejiofor.
“The Service will also showcase stories of some of the incredible guests in the congregation, who are leading by example and helping to create a more connected society.”
The first Christmas carol event in 2021 was a tribute those who contributed during the COVID-19 pandemic. The carols have since become a celebration of all the positive work happening in the U.K..
This year’s theme is “love in all its forms.”
“This year, the Service will bring people together to celebrate love in all its forms — whether it’s love within families, through friendships, across communities or even through powerful moments of connection with strangers. In a world that can often feel fragmented and disconnected, love is the force that reconnects us all – spanning generations, communities, cultures and faiths,” the statement Kensington Palace continued.
“As we approach the Christmas season, we are reminded of the power of togetherness. The evening will highlight the transformative power of investing in one another with compassion, presence and joy.”
The event will also pay its respects to Katharine, the Duchess of Kent, who passed away in September, aged 92.
Performers from the charity the late Duchess founded, Future Talent, will perform. The charity was created to support musically gifted children from low-income backgrounds.
Attendees will receive a letter to thank them for their attendance, which has been shared by news outlets.
In the letter, Princess Catherine writes: “This carol service offers a moment of collective togetherness, a chance to celebrate the spirit of community and service, and to honour the visible and invisible bonds that unite us all. The time, care and compassion you give, often quietly and unspoken, and without any expectation or recognition, make an extraordinary difference to the lives of others.”
