Casting is now open for BBC Scotland’s Christmas Home of the Year 2026. Are you fanatical about the festive season, and love transforming your home into a winter wonderland every year? Give it a go!
Filming is due to take place in late November this year, with the programme being aired ahead of Christmas Day.
Last year’s winner was the Holly Jolly Mouse House – a carefully curated characterful home near Cumnock. Home to Ellenor and Gary and their two cats Mia and Kimba, the Holly Jolly Mouse House had Christmas at its heart with plans for the decorating themes hatched months in advance.
Every year, the family try to think out of the box. 2025’s the theme was ‘Mouseland’ with a miniature mouse ski slope in the hall featuring colourful mouse skiers as well as their ‘Night Before Christmas’ display with fun festive mice.
Ever since childhood, Ellenor has loved Christmas and the build up to this special time of the year. The home also had a Grinch themed bedroom; a Nostalgic room featuring memories of Christmas past from their blended family including a rocking horse and ornaments; and the garden even has a Snowman piñata.
