Amanda Holden has ignited a conversation about holiday timing by revealing her Christmas decorations were already up in early November. The television personality shared images of her £7 million Surrey mansion adorned with festive foliage, baubles, and a large tree in the entrance hall.
"I don’t think I’ll ever be able to explain quite what Christmas means to me," Holden stated in an Instagram caption, explaining her love for the holiday stems from a childhood filled with love despite modest means. She expressed that the act of decorating brings back feelings of excitement and belief in possibility, adding, "And for the record, I still believe in Father Christmas. Always have. Always will."
She credited @kellylouisefloralartistry for transforming her home, describing the team as "lovely, down-to-earth" and a "joy to have around." Holden concluded her post with a playful warning about "relentless" Christmas content, encouraging followers to mute her account until January if they wished.
While many fans praised the "beautiful" decorations, others pointed out that Christmas was still 53 days away, with some deeming it "FAR TOO EARLY." The timing also became a topic of discussion on her Heart Radio Breakfast show, where co-host Jamie Theakston expressed his preference for keeping Christmas special by not decorating too soon.
This early festive display followed Holden's recent Halloween celebrations, where she and Theakston dressed as Lizzie Borden and her father.
