At least in Germany during Christmas 2020 you were only allowed to have private parties with a maximum of 5 people, from a maximum of 2 households.

This was however not enforced unless some asshole snitched on your family

Given the England flag in their name I'm guessing the UK.

I don't think we had any social distancing restrictions during any Christmas but some did come into effect shortly after, I don't think people were allowed to visit. I remember us having a new year's party with our neighbours in the back garden, technically them not allowed to go into our house and having to stay 2 metres from them. Must have been December 2020.

There was a scandal that Boris Johnson held a Christmas party, when he told everyone else to not meet up. Wikipedia tells me, you guys had social restrictions during Christmas in 2020.

We did but you could have a certain number of people over on Christmas. It then got much stricter just after Christmas.
