Did the Tudors Change Christmas More Than We Think?

Did the Tudors Change Christmas More Than We Think?

Did you know the English Reformation didn’t just reshape churches and doctrine… it quietly transformed Christmas itself? In today’s Tudor Christmas Advent episode, I explore how Henry VIII, Edward VI, Mary I and Elizabeth I each left their mark on the festive season - sometimes dramatically, sometimes subtly, and sometimes in ways we might not expect. What happened to the old medieval traditions? Why did some customs disappear while others survived untouched? And how did the Tudors balance faith, festivity, and reform at the most important season of the year? This is the story of a Christmas in transition, a holiday caught between devotion, celebration, and religious revolution. Question for you: If you’d lived in Tudor England, would you have kept the old customs, reformed them gently, or stripped them back entirely?
