Homeowners Angela and Mark Breen
Festive Farmhouse, a traditional Victorian property in South Lanarkshire, is home to Angela and Mark Breen and their four children Marylee, Samuel, Marcus and Rosa.
For this family, Christmas is all about getting everyone involved in the festivities, from festive baking to Christmas crafts and collecting foliage for handmade decorations.
Many of the children's arts and crafts are incorporated into the nature-inspired Christmas theme throughout the farmhouse.

Angela said: "Winning Scotland's Christmas Home of the Year 2024 is an unbelievable achievement.
"We adopted a traditional approach to decorating for Christmas. Lots of velvet, burgundy, natural foliage, dried oranges, and handmade crafts.
"It was a family effort, and the children love to get on board with creating decorations and adding their own interpretations of what a Victorian Christmas should look like."
Judges described the house as "cosy and welcoming"
Judge and interior designer Anna Campbell Jones said it was "a beautifully restored and timeless setting for a truly magical family celebration.
"The Festive Farmhouse is the epitome of what anyone visiting this planet would imagine the perfect Scottish Christmas home to be."
