Tonight’s BBC Scotland programme, Scotland’s Christmas Home of the Year, gave us a tour of five of the country’s most festive properties, and the judges had a firm favourite.
The winner is a house in Cumnock, which the programme makers dubbed the Holly Jolly Mouse House. This sparkly venue is owned by Ellenor and Gary, who theme their decorations every year, with a Mouseland slant for 2025.
Its charming and imaginative decor won over the judges - Anna Campbell-Jones, Danny Campbell and Banjo Beale - who gave it an incredible 30 points and variously praised its passion, nostalgia and magic.
We took a look inside.
