The Prince and Princess of Wales are sending sunny Christmas wishes. Kate Middleton and Prince William revealed a new portrait of their family — including their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis — that is being used as this year's holiday card.

The picture shows the five family members holding hands, all dressed casually for a sunny stroll. Both Prince William and Princess Kate both sport jeans, while George, Charlotte and Louis all wear shorts and sneakers. "Sharing a new picture of the family for this year's Christmas card!" they captioned the snap on social media.

The family is preparing for their first holiday season since the death of Queen Elizabeth in September, after which King Charles III made Prince William the new Prince of Wales as heir to the throne. Following tradition, the royal family is set to spend Christmas Day at Sandringham.

During her life, Queen Elizabeth would take the train from London to Norfolk in December to spend the holiday at the country residence. She would usually stay at Sandringham until the anniversary of her father King George VI's death and her accession to the throne in early February.

Each Christmas, the royal family makes a trip to St. Mary Magdalene church for mass, after which they greet well-wishers. They then head back to Sandringham to enjoy a traditional turkey holiday feast. This year, King Charles will record his first Christmas broadcast, which the family traditionally watches at 3 p.m. local time on December 25.

This year will also see Kate host her second annual Christmas carol concert. King Charles and Queen Camilla are set to attend the event on Dec. 15. "This year's carol service is dedicated to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the values Her Majesty demonstrated throughout her life, including duty, empathy, faith, service, kindness, compassion and support for others," Buckingham Palace said in a press release.

"These principles are shared and personified by the inspirational guests who have been invited to the Abbey in recognition of their tireless work to help and care for those around them." While last year's event featured performances by Ellie Goulding and Leona Lewis, the 2022 concert will be similarly star-studded, with the Abbey Choir's traditional carols featuring alongside performances by guests including Craig David and Les Miserables star Samantha Barks.

There will also be a special duet between opera singer Alfie Boe and Spice Girl Melanie C. Readings will be delivered by speakers including Prince William, Kristin Scott Thomas and Paddington star Hugh Bonneville. The Christmas Eve broadcast of the event on ITV will be narrated by Catherine Zeta-Jones.
