As the holiday season draws near and we regain some semblance of social normality after a year filled with anything but; our excitement for any, and all upcoming festive celebrations is paramount. With a full calendar, comes the difficult search for the perfect accompanying outfit, one that is equal parts fun, weather and event appropriate, and of course, a touch festive. To save you the hassle of scouring the internet, we've put together our personal selection of the best Christmas dresses to wear to every holiday celebration.
With so many celebrations each with their own dress code, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed by the simple task of choosing the perfect Christmas dress. Whether your troubles lie in finding an outfit suitable for a long lunch with work colleagues, a more formal, glamorous iteration to celebrate the festive season in style, or simply a Christmas Day frock that is practical but will still make a statement, we have you covered.
Below, our round-up of the best Christmas dresses for the 2020 festive season.
Timeless frocks for pre-Christmas celebrations
When your December schedule is filled with an overflow of events, it's easy to get caught up in the excitement of the moment by shopping dresses that although fun, are certainly not versatile. While we certainly recommend going a little over the top for your more formal events, end-of-year work lunches and celebrations with close friends present the perfect opportunity to find a Christmas dress that will see you into the new year. Opt for timeless prints and silhouettes that can be worn again with chunky sandals or sneakers for a more casual iteration.
Here are our favourite picks.

A touch of glamour for the 'extra' celebrations in your festive calendar
There's nothing that says Christmas quite like a touch of sequins and feathers. Although celebrations this year may be a little different than what we're used to, there's nothing to say that you can't up the ante with your nearest and dearest for a dress code that is a little bit extra. Because, why not? Whether you're searching for a more understated dress, or are committed to sequins, feathers, bows and all, these are the best Christmas dresses for your more formal celebrations.

The line between style and practicality can be a difficult one, especially if you are hoping between multiple celebrations in the one day. The solution lies in finding a comfortable frock that can transition seamlessly from each event with a change of footwear or addition of accessories.
