New research conducted by a personal finance website has discovered that celebrating Christmas at home could cost 11million households across the UK almost a third (30%) more this year as a direct result of higher energy bills.

Analysis by Forbes Advisor of energy usage over the festive period shows that customers on standard variable energy tariffs are set to pay £49 more this December than in 2020.

Christmas Day alone is set to cost households an average of £9 in energy costs, with a predicted total spend of £238 in December, compared to £189 over the same period last year.

Forbes Advisor studied the average energy consumption of household appliances per hour, and the number of hours they are used per day throughout December.
