Introducing Step into Christmas!

This festive season, we are taking a step into Christmases past with a nationwide campaign to revive traditions from decades gone by.

From caroling to paper chains to nostalgic recipes, we will be immersing residents, families and the community in the 1950s festive spirit. We are ensuring historical customs aren’t forgotten through our ‘Step into Christmas’ programme by bringing generations together.

With countless yuletide memories from childhood, residents and team members are turning back the clock and celebrating these moments through a series of special events.

Across Care UK homes, residents are banding together with local groups to host nostalgic, 1950s-themed parties. Whether it’s baking classic Christmas treats, crafting ornaments or singing songs from decades past, every activity is designed to honour the traditions from residents’ youths.

For the younger generations, this is a unique chance to discover how Christmas used to be revelled in, learning directly from those who lived it.

Step into Christmas is more than a seasonal initiative; it’s a celebration of tradition, community and the festive spirit. Join us in making this season truly unforgettable by reconnecting with the traditions that may otherwise be forgotten.
