The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge last spent Christmas at the Middletons' home in Berkshire - and not the Queen - back in 2016.
James told the German news outlet, "I welcome people into our family home, I want it to feel like it's their home.
"There'll be turkey, champagne and some wine. For me it's all about family. It's one where we can all regroup."
Spending the holidays with the Queen is an expectation for all royals.
Last year, even Prince Harry's then-fiancé Meghan Markle attended mass at Sandringham.
However, in 2016, Williams and Kate broke Royal tradition by choosing to spend the festive period at the Middleton's family home in Berkshire.
But Meghan will be spending her second Christmas at Sandringham - although her first as a fully fledged member of The Firm.
It is believed she will be joined by her mum, Doria Ragland, and the pair will have to get used to some unusual royal traditions.
