Princess of Wales Confirms Return of Christmas Carol Service to ITV

The Princess of Wales has announced the return of her annual Together at Christmas Carol Service, which will be broadcast on ITV1 and ITVX on Christmas Eve. Now in its sixth year, the much-loved festive celebration will take place at Westminster Abbey on Friday 11 December 2026.

More than 1,600 guests will attend the special event, including people recognised for their extraordinary contributions to their communities. This year’s service will celebrate love, kindness and the importance of supporting one another, particularly during difficult times.

The evening will feature traditional and contemporary Christmas music, alongside readings and performances from special guests. A further 15 community carol services will take place across the four nations of the UK, celebrating individuals who help bring people together and make a difference in their local areas.

The event is organised by The Royal Foundation in partnership with Westminster Abbey and BBC Studios Events Productions. Further details, including special guests and performers, will be announced closer to Christmas.
