It wouldn't be Oxmas without the Wadham panto! Congratulations to @wadhamdrama on another amazing production. We think Beauty and the Beast 2000s just might be the best one yet.

Merry Oxmas, one and all!
If you’re new to Oxford slang, you may be wondering…
🎄 What is #Oxmas? Michaelmas (autumn) term @ox.ac.uk ends next week, so students celebrate Christmas festivities a little earlier before leaving for the vacation with formals, carol services, and charity events.
Excited for #OXmas 2025!
🎄❄️✨

Christmas comes early in Oxford #OxMas I’ve watched several Christmas trees arrive today and was fascinated by the engineering operation involved in positioning the tree on top of the medieval well in the front quad. A nice distraction during tutorial work today 🎄 #OfficeView #OxfordLife
Happy Oxmas from everyone at Reuben!
But what is Oxmas?
As Oxford terms are short, Christmas celebrations start earlier here so students can get involved before heading home for the festive period!
