Of course there is always rum cake and lots of wine and general merriment in the air, but if you’re willing to wear Christmas on your sleeve (and we don’t mean the clichéd green, red and white sweater) we’ve got a few super cool beauty ideas for you.

Colour your hair green
This October saw everyone rocking the green hair colour trend.

Whether we’re attending a humble house party or the biggest Christmas at the Joneses’, and whether we’ve chosen to wear the littlest, black dress or some colour, we know we could never go wrong with red lips. We bet Santa approves, too!
