The magic of Christmas officially arrived last night at Hamleys Regent Street, as the world’s oldest toy store hosted its most spectacular VIP Christmas Party and Window Unveiling to date. The exclusive in-store celebration welcomed a glittering guest list of celebrities and their families, kicking off the festive season in true Hamleys style.
Among the evening’s highlights was Vanessa Feltz, who turned heads in a stunning red fur coat as she arrived with her daughter Saskia Joss and family. The beloved TV host delighted guests by jumping into the iconic Hamleys Sleigh for a joyful photo and dance with her grandson — joined by none other than Santa Claus himself.
The festive cheer continued with Rachel Riley and Pasha Kovalev, who embraced the season in sparkling Christmas jumpers, while Charlotte Crosby brought her adorable daughter Alba, dressed beautifully in burgundy. Rising star soon to be on Celebrity Apprentice Charlie Hedges, soon-to-be dad Freddie Brazier, Linda Robson, Roxy Horner and Juliet Mayhew — radiant in red — added to the evening’s glamour.
Guests were treated to sleigh-ride fun with Ashley James and Vogue Williams, while professional dancer James Jordan dazzled the crowd with some festive footwork alongside the famous Hamleys elves!

Guests were also treated to a showstopping 3ft Christmas tree cake which lit up the room—literally!
