William and Kate have opted in recent years to use a more casual family photo for their annual Christmas card.
Their card last year featured the Cambridges sitting on haystacks and posing in front of stacks of firewood at Anmer Hall, the family's country home in Norfolk, England.
Their card the previous year featured the family posing outside on a motorcycle and sidecar.

In 2018, their first Christmas as a family of five, the Cambridges' holiday photo was another casual shot of them posing together outside at Anmer Hall.
In 2017, the Cambridges posed for a more formal family photo.

The previous year, William and Kate chose a candid photo from their official tour of Canada for their Christmas greetings.
The Cambridges shared their first Christmas photo as a family of four in 2015, when they posed outside of Kensington Palace.
The palace has not yet publicly announced where William and Kate and their children plan to spend the Christmas holiday this year.
In past years the Cambridges have joined the royal family in spending Christmas at Sandringham, Queen Elizabeth's estate in Norfolk.
The royals were forced to break that decades-long tradition last year due to the coronavirus pandemic.
This Christmas will be the royal family's first without Prince Philip, who died at age 99 in April.
