The couple’s porch has been transformed into a show-stopping winter wonderland, complete with a towering 10ft Christmas tree dressed in shimmering baubles, soft glowing lights, and delicate ribbons.
Fresh pine greenery wraps around the porch columns, giving the entrance a classic festive feel, while more greenery winds elegantly along the curved staircase banister, popping beautifully against the home’s pristine white porcelain floor.
As the lights cast a warm glow up the staircase and across the hall, the whole entrance becomes a magical, inviting scene that feels straight out of a luxury Christmas catalogue.
“It’s the most wonderful time of the year, an extra special one for us this time,” as the couple is spending their first Christmas with their daughter Palma, who was born earlier this year.

Inside the Wright-Keegan self-build: A home years in the making
The Christmas entrance is just the latest evolution in Mark Wright and Michelle Keegan’s long-running self-build - a project that began with a blank plot and grew into the couple’s impressive £3.5m Essex mansion.
As the build progressed, Mark added his own touches, including a complete redesign of the home gym. The sleek wall panelling and high-end finish earned attention for its blend of luxury and practicality.
And for Michelle, the moment the home was finally completed was deeply emotional, she has spoken openly about crying when she first saw the finished house after years of planning.
From its structure to its seasonal sparkle, the Wright-Keegan home continues to evolve – and this year’s Christmas entrance may be its most magical update yet.
