The Wales kids’ colour palette reflected their parents’ Christmas Day looks. Kate looked radiant in a bold emerald-green wool coat, which she styled with a matching fascinator, a tartan scarf, and black suede boots. As for William, he wore a blue coat, a cornflower blue tie, blue slacks, and black leather dress shoes.

For decades, the British royal family has typically celebrated Christmas at Sandringham House, the royal residence at the heart of the monarch’s country estate in Norfolk. The festivities usually start on Christmas Eve; on December 24, the family puts the finishing touches on the house’s Christmas tree, opens an array of presents, and sits down for a black-tie dinner. As for Christmas Day, the royals attend morning church service before heading home for a roasted turkey lunch.

The Waleses had an early start to their holiday celebration this year with Kate’s fourth annual “Together at Christmas” carol service, which took place on December 6 and was later broadcast to U.K. viewers on December 24.

“Christmas is one of my favourite times of the year,” Kate said in a recorded introduction for the service. “It is a time for presents, tinsel and mince pies, but it’s also a time to slow down and reflect on the deeper things that connect us all. It is when we stop and take ourselves away from the pressures of daily life, that we find the space to live our lives with an open heart, with love, kindness and forgiveness, so much of what the Christmas spirit is all about.”
