Experience a blast from the past with this unique homestay offered by Booking.com. This one-of-a-kind opportunity allows guests to travel back in time and relive the ultimate Christmas of the 1980s. Step into the Home of Christmas Past and immerse yourself in a world full of nostalgia, decorated with all the classic elements of the festive season from the iconic foil ceiling decorations to vintage baubles and shimmering tinsel.
As you wander through the homestay, you'll come across a child's bedroom filled with classic 80s toys, twinkling fairy lights, and posters of beloved films like Ghostbusters. And what better way to set the mood than with the iconic Christmas song "Last Christmas" by Wham! playing in the background. The joy and excitement of the 80s Christmas are evident in every corner of this homestay.
But it's not just about the decorations. According to new research, almost 2 in 5 people consider the 80s to be the ultimate decade for Christmas celebrations. And it's not just about reminiscing either, as 35% of people reveal that they want to recreate nostalgic moments from their childhood through their travels. This could mean revisiting a place they once went to or traveling with their family or childhood friends.
The 80s hold a special place in our hearts for many reasons. For 43% of people, it's the simplicity of life back then that they miss. Others attribute it to the lack of digital distractions (34%) or the availability of Christmas TV specials (33%). Whatever the reason may be, there is a strong desire to relive the magic of the 80s Christmas.
And that's exactly what the Home of Christmas Past offers. Not only is it beautifully decorated with all the over-the-top 80s décor, but it also plays festive tunes from that era. Plus, you'll have the chance to indulge in classic Christmas treats that you thought were long gone, like Advocaat, Viennetta, and vol-au-vents. And of course, no Christmas is complete without watching cheesy festive films. The homestay will have a selection of beloved classics like The Snowman, Die Hard, and Gremlins for guests to enjoy.
Family time is also at the heart of this experience. Guests will have access to a tour of London's Christmas lights, ice skating, an afternoon tea on the Thames, and even champagne at the top of the Shard. It's the perfect way to create new memories with your loved ones and share the magic of the 80s with them.
Interested in booking this unique homestay? Starting December 10, you can book through the Booking.com app or website. But hurry, it's on a first-come, first-served basis, and only a limited number of guests will get the chance to stay for two nights on December 13. And the best part? It only costs £19.80, a small price to pay for such a special experience. So, why not spread some Christmas cheer and book your stay at the Home of Christmas Past?
