To be super clear: when you propose at Christmas time, there’s one secret you absolutely can’t ignore, if you want it to go perfectly. There’s many more tips and ideas you can choose to take on board as well! We’ll give you those in a nutshell, but let’s get cracking with the single most important thing you need to know about Christmas proposals.

A Christmas proposal has to be personal.

That’s it. That’s the biggest thing you need to get right if you’re going to propose at Christmas time. Whichever day, or time, or setting you choose, you’ve got to think it through – and from your partner’s perspective. Forget about festive proposals you’ve seen in movies, read about online or been shown by the algorithms. Step away from outside influences and think about your partner.
