This year's card features the village Christmas Tree on the green in the centre of Goathland in 2024.
Note the wire netting surrounding it - this is to prevent the free roaming sheep from trying to eat the tree or getting tangled up in the lights. This tree was totally destroyed in the storms last year but after an almost year long fundraising campaign there will be a new display this year, you never know it might make it onto next year's card!
