The chateau owners decorate for Christmas. Julia looks for historically accurate decorations while Trish tries to find eco-friendly decor that fit with her Bostonian roots. Alison and Zion are nearly finished renovating their hunting lodge, but with it being 8 metres tall, decorating is proving difficult.

Donna and Paul have their work cut out repairing a grand staircase in their grounds in time to host a festive drinks event with a twist. Near the north coast, Chris and Jolyon's large family party is upon them, and as Christmas decorating gets underway, they go the extra mile by creating a hidden Santa's grotto for the kids. Meanwhile, at Château de Lalande, Stephanie and Gerry get the new Marquis Salon dressed for a Christmas dinner.
