Christmas Cheer from the Living Memories Online Archive Collections

With Christmas just around the corner, we'd like to share some of our favourite festive clips from the Living Memories Online archive collections. 

As travelling is difficult at the moment, take a look at some holiday traditions from across the globe here. There are Christmas film trailers, like 'White Christmas' available to view, as well as classic stories such as 'A Christmas Carol' to transport you back in time.

Think back to the best Christmas present you ever received, for this man in 1965, it was a wrapped car! And what is your favourite food to have over the festive season? Government advice may be constantly changing regarding celebrations, but one thing that hasn't changed is the need to post your cards early! These clips can be a great way of sparking memories and creating conversations.

We hope you have a wonderful holiday season, however you are spending it this year.

Living Memories Online has various subscriptions available which offer access to our full range of archive programmes, clips and newsreels from the 20th Century.
