Bettys Christmas window unveiled in Harrogate as festive celebrations begin

The famous Bettys tearoom welcomed visitors on Friday (Nov 6) for its annual Christmas window reveal, a much-loved tradition marking the start of the festive season.

This year's display takes inspiration from the tradition of sending Christmas greetings and gifts to loved ones near and far.

Featuring a giant snowman, a bright red postbox, beautifully wrapped presents and twinkling lights, the window celebrates a time when Christmas travelled by post.

Visitors gathered outside the tearoom to admire the decorations, take photographs and enjoy the festive atmosphere.

The celebrations also included seasonal favourites such as mince pies and mulled wine, alongside the annual Christmas raffle.

The colourful display showcases Bettys' handcrafted festive treats and gifts, bringing a touch of Christmas magic to the heart of Harrogate.
