The "Alternative Christmas Message" is a non-traditional broadcast that has been aired in the United Kingdom during the Christmas season, usually on Christmas Day. It is often seen as a counterpoint to the official Christmas message delivered by the reigning monarch. The tradition began in 1986 and is typically presented by a prominent public figure, celebrity, or activist.
