Windsor Castle, one of the royal family's official residences, is decorated for Christmas.
The 20-foot Christmas tree features a star for the 675th anniversary of the Order of the Garter.

The royal family usually spends Christmas at Sandringham House in Norfolk, but it's Windsor Castle that gets fully decked out for the holidays.

Take a look at how members of the Royal Collection Trust have decorated the historic royal residence for Christmas.
