You'd think the royal family on Christmas would have a long list of traditions that are formal, uptight, and fancy. But that's actually only half true. In between the family's high teas, fancy buffets, and elaborate church hats, they love playing games, watching movies, and buying gag gifts for each other. In a weird way, they're literally just like everyone else during the holidays! Check out our gift guide below to see products you can buy that'll make your Christmas more like the royals'.

Silver Artificial Christmas Tree

Although you'd think the royal family would only decorate their palace with the biggest, most extravagant evergreens, they actually only own two Christmas trees. “The Queen is not lavish, so the décor is minimal," former chef Darren McGrady said. "The Royal Family has a large Christmas tree and a large silver artificial tree in the dining room, which is about 30 years old.”

A Fancy Porcelain Tea Set

Tea is a huge part of the royals' Christmas and British society in general. On Christmas Day, the Queen likes to have afternoon tea followed by the traditional fruitcake. The Queen's tea of choice is Early Grey with no milk or sugar, but if you're going to drink like royalty, it helps to have china that's just as high-class.

Practical Joke Gift Set

Although you'd expect the royal family to gift each other expensive baubles or gold coins, the reality is that the family already has everything they could ever want or need. So instead of giving real presents, the family buys cheap gag gifts instead. Prince Harry once gave the Queen a shower cap that said, "Ain't Life a B—h." And the Queen loved it! Reportedly, Prince Charles' favorite gift was a leather toilet seat given to him by Princess Anne. Although you might not want to gift someone a toilet seat, a funny prank set is a fun alternative.

Charades

The royals don't open their gifts on Christmas Day. Instead, they open them up on Christmas Eve. Afterwards, they love playing Charades together, sometimes until midnight! Just imagining Prince William and Kate playing the classic board game is enough to make us want to do it ourselves.

Fancy Church Fascinator

On Christmas morning, following a large breakfast, the family gets dressed up and heads to church to attend service. You too can look just like Kate Middleton with this fancy wool fascinator.

Dark Chocolate Gift Set

The whole royal festivities culminate with a large Christmas buffet of turkey or ham. Afterwards, everyone eats dessert. "The queen is a major chocoholic, particularly dark chocolate, so she always has a chocolate treat on Christmas," former royal chef Darren McGrady said. "She also loves mint." We agree with her — who doesn't love receiving chocolate on Christmas?

Movie Projector

After dinner, they all gather in the ballroom to watch a movie — you know, like literally every other family across the globe. Although we average folks might not have massive ballrooms to screen A Christmas Story, a cheap projector is an easy way to recreate the feel of an actual theater.
