Christmas Eve brings families and friends together for the
\nholidays and in a frankly bizarre move, sees many decide that the
\nbest way to spend time with someone you might not have seen all
\nyear is to get out the glue and paint and start crafting.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s something about the holiday season that gets everyone
\nreaching for their creative side and this year\u2019s tacky Christmas
\ntrend is leaning into that completely with home made decorations
\nand anything that doesn\u2019t match top of the wish list. If you\u2019re
\nlooking for inspiration for some Christmas crafting then the royals
\nhave set the lead in 2025.<\/p>\n
The Duchess of Edinburgh does cookies
\nin a Santa hat<\/p>\n
Sophie fully embraced the aunt at Christmas look by sticking a
\nSanta hat on her head before she even started crafting.<\/p>\n
The Duchess of Edinburgh was at Disability Initiative for their
\nChristmas celebrations and she threw herself into all the
\nactivities and looked like she was loving every moment of it.<\/p>\n
The charity, of which Sophie is patron, was holding its
\nChristmas party. Disability Initiative helps adults with
\ndisabilities towards their personal goals through tailored
\nactivities.<\/p>\n
The Duchess clearly enjoyed all the crafting on offer, helping
\ndecorate mini Christmas trees before going full on with her cookie
\ndecorating. It\u2019s not Christmas without icing biscuits and the
\nDuchess of Edinburgh looked very proud of her Rudolf the Red Nosed
\nReindeer creation. Add baking to your Christmas Eve to do list
\nnow.<\/p>\n
Sweden\u2019s future queen makes meatballs,
\nnatch<\/p>\n
The rule at Christmas is that if someone has cooked something
\nyou eat it and you enjoy it. Note that down now, it will save you
\nan argument at some point in the coming days.<\/p>\n
Sweden\u2019s future queen reigned supreme in the kitchen in the run
\nup to Christmas as she tried her hand at crafting all kinds of
\ntraditional Christmas food, including the country\u2019s most famous
\nexport, meatballs.<\/p>\n
Princess Estelle, 13, and her 9 year old brother, Prince Oscar,
\nheaded to the royal castle kitchens to rustle up a festive feast.
\nEstelle was clearly in charge as Oscar quietly got on with some
\ncreations of his own. And they did it all with a suitably nostalgic
\nInstagram filter that made everything glow like a 1970s
\ncookbook.<\/p>\n
As this is all about crafting, the princess cracked out those
\nridiculous little cake cases you only see at Christmas and filled
\nthem with an unidentified sweet syrup. Remember the rule \u2013 someone
\nmakes it, you eat it and you like it. It\u2019s Christmas.<\/p>\n
