Rachel de Thame's Christmas tree holds 35 years of memories

House & Garden's only new upload visits her North Cotswolds home, where fresh foliage meets a distinctly practical flower room.

Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

Touring a Magical Cotswolds Home at Christmas

The flower room doubles as the laundry. It is a small, useful detail in Rachel de Thame's festive house tour, tucked between a bright drawing room and a library she loves for being its dark opposite.

House & Garden posted just one new video this week: "Touring a Magical Cotswolds Home at Christmas". The brief visit has reached roughly 21,000 views and is currently the channel's busiest upload by daily viewing.

The Gardeners' World presenter brings the countryside indoors through fresh foliage, seasonal greenery and texture. In the front hall stands a tall Christmas tree hung with ornaments collected over 35 years. De Thame remembers falling for the dollhouse-shaped house before buying it, and says it feels almost made for a tree. The cooking, meanwhile, is her husband's department: "My husband is a far better cook than me."

Viewers have practical follow-up questions. Several want a longer tour, another asks to see the garden, and one is trying to identify the pale blue paint. That is rather a lot of curiosity for such a short visit.

Elsewhere in the catalogue, Fin Fellowes' renovated childhood townhouse in Chelsea continues to draw viewers, with family treasures sharing space with contemporary finds. Emma Burns' former Oxfordshire dovecote also remains among the busiest uploads, a familiar presence since we last visited the channel.

Subscribers held steady over the week, while the channel added about 300,000 views. Daily viewing is above its usual level. Among nearby home-and-DIY channels, Mai Zimmy had a particularly substantial week; House & Garden also drew a larger weekly audience than most of that group, with its country-house doors and London townhouses both contributing.
