FOR these streets across the UK, it’s Christmas all-year round.
From mentions of Santa’s reindeer to the festive day itself, Sun Travel has found some of the most Christmassy road names from all over the UK.
Christmas Pie Avenue, Guildford
This one takes the biscuit (or pie), really. You can’t get more festive than Christmas Pie Avenue.
Found in the village of Normandy in Surrey, the residential street, Christmas Pie Avenue, sits in the south of the village close to Wanborough Station.
The little village has a shop, café and there’s plenty of countryside too, with the closest towns being Farnborough and Guildford.
Talking to SurreyLive, Jack Kinder, vice chairman of the Normandy Historians, said: “The name comes from the family of Christmas who were prominent landowners in the 17th and 18th century.
“The Pie part comes from the Saxon word pightle – meaning a field. There was, up until the houses were built around in the 1950s, a field called Pie Field – a triangle field near the crossroads.”
Rudolph Street, Bolton
Seven minutes from the town of Bolton is Rudolph Street.
It’s residential with around 15 addresses, so apart from houses, there’s not much going on here.
Of course, just minutes away is a whole other story with plenty to do in Bolton, from exploring the Jumbles Country Park to Smithills Open Farm.

There are also plenty of museums, like the Bolton Steam Museum, the art gallery and huge market on Ashburner Street.
There are lots of pubs too, like Pine Tree Farm, Red Lion and Elephant and Castle, which are some of the highest-rated on Tripadvisor.
Dasher Gardens, Ardrossan
Another reindeer-inspired street name is found in Ardrossan, a town on the North Ayrshire coast of Scotland.
Santa of course has nine reindeer, but this one is named after Dasher.
The little cul-de-sac sits just off Dalry Road and is minutes from the coast, where you’ll find the historical landmark of Ardrossan Castle – or rather, what’s left of it.
Across the bay is the Isle of Arran, which one Sun writer described as being ‘Scotland in Miniature’.
The little island has mountains, rolling hills and sandy beaches.
There’s a new sauna on the island too, called Stonethrow, which is right on the sand and is great for having a steam before plunging into the chilly water.
Tinsel Lane, Nuneaton
Just outside of the market town of Nuneaton, Warwickshire is a street called Tinsel Lane.
Despite its festive name, there won’t be many lights on this one, as it’s a country lane surrounded by rolling green fields.
Nonetheless, if you’re ticking off spots with Christmassy names in the UK, you really can’t leave this one off the list.
As for what to do in the town, popular attractions, Nuneaton Museum & Art Gallery, historic Arbury Hall, and Hartshill Hayes Country Park.
Mistletoe Street, Durham
Heating up the romance at Christmas is the mistletoe, and this road is named after it.
Found in Durham, Mistletoe Street is minutes away from the city centre and is filled with red-brick houses.
To make it even more festive, the street right behind it is named Holly Street, so it makes for two Christmassy corners.
Durham itself is known for its top university, huge cathedral, historic cobbled streets and the River Wear.
There’s also an open-air museum called Beamish, which was a hit with Countryfile presenter Matt Baker.
Talking to Sun Travel earlier this year, he said: “It’s the best open-air museum in the world, without question.
“Basically what they do is take down buildings in the North East and put them back up at Beamish, and go around on all old trams, there’s old villages, farms – you can even stay there now and have a historic stay over at Beamish.
“It’s like Disney World for history buffs – that’s the only way I can describe it. You get transported back in time, it’s a proper immersive experience.”
Cold Christmas Lane, Hertfordshire
In Hertfordshire is Cold Christmas Lane, which leads to a hamlet called Cold Christmas in Thundridge.
While the name is very festive, there isn’t much Christmas cheer about it.
In fact quiet bleakly, the name ‘Cold Christmas’ refers to a period of high child mortality during harsh winters.
However, just around the corner is the Hertfordshire town of Ware, which is all dressed up for Christmas, and there you’ll find plenty of pubs, like the Waterside Inn by the river.
There are also independent coffee spots, shops, and florists.
Angel Lane, Chipping Campden
The Cotswolds are known for their beauty, so it’s not too much of a surprise that you’ll find one of the prettiest street names there – Angel Lane.
Houses on Angel Lane are just as you’d imagine, made from the classic Cotswold stone and have plenty of countryside character.
If you fancy a plot on Angel Lane then you’ll have to pay a premium as the average property price is over £600,000.
Of course, the village itself is worth a gander too, with a preserved High Street from the 14th to 17th century.
Here there are gift shops like Dandelion as well as The Bantam Tea Rooms & Guest House and the Bromley’s of Cotswolds coffee shop.
