"The new 2025 trail promises to be as magical as ever. ";
Christmas at Kew is a light trail that takes place across the 300-acre botanic garden.
Visitors will be mesmerised by the flickering flames in the fire garden, wander beneath huge illuminations and even get the chance to meet the big man himself.
In previous years, independent street food vendors sold festive grub, from hot food and sweet treats to spiced winter warmers and hot chocolate.

What is it like to visit Christmas at Kew?
THE sun's Lizzie Parry visited Christmas at Kew back in 2022, here's what she thought...
WALKING along the magical light trail at Kew Gardens, I struggled to speak, save for a constant stream of dramatic “wows”.
I’ve lived in London for just over ten years, and I’ve been desperate to experience Christmas at Kew.
So it was fitting that in its tenth year, my London festive wish came true.
And wow, just wow – it was worth the decade-long wait.
It’s no secret among my friends and family that I love Christmas, all of it!
And the festive fun here, exceeded my high expectations.
Walking through a turnstile to images of snowflakes projected on to a walkway immediately transports you to festive heaven.
Little huts selling mulled wine, hot dogs roasted on an open fire and mac ‘n’ cheese served on hash browns (a carb lover’s dream) line the entrance, while inside a fairytale wonderland awaits.
Bellies full and hands warmed by hot chocolate drinks laced with whisky, we set off along the sparkling trail.
The first kilometre was just the warm-up, it turns out.
Twinkling lights that leave the ground glittering, birds floating through the trees and a Santa installation perched high above the walkway were only a beautiful introduction to what came next.
After a group photo with Santa, we couldn’t help but have a go on the fairground rides – it was the first time in years that me and my 30-something-year-old friends had ridden a carousel and it left us giggling uncontrollably.
Then it was on to even more magical installations and a curtain of sparkling lights.
We weaved our way through golden bulbs dangling from magnificent tree branches while Somewhere In My Memory from the Home Alone soundtrack played merrily in the background.
It was so magical that every crowd passing through had been stunned into silence.
Of course, it’s not Christmas without a tree and the trail features one of the brightest trees I’ve ever seen, sparkling in different colours to Andy Williams’ Christmas classic, It’s The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year (I couldn’t agree more, Andy!).
It was the stunning finale that blew me away though.
Last year, tickets for LaplandUK went on sale in March and sold out in minutes.
The attraction is a big hit with celebrities and royals.
