Between 23 and 27 December, people may travel between tiers and other nations of the United Kingdom, if necessary to meet with other households in their Christmas ‘bubble’ or return home. Once at their destination, they should follow the rules in that tier.

Individuals can stay in a hotel during the Christmas period, including accommodation in tier 3 areas, or with other members of your household. People can only meet their Christmas bubble in a hotel if it is the primary residence of one of the members of their bubble. This is also the case for other types of non-private residence, for example an educational establishment or bed and breakfast. Those in a Christmas bubble must not mix in any shared facilities or spaces, like a restaurant. However, households or bubbles can stay in private rented accommodation.
