They also do similar for Boxing day (Day after Christmas) which is also a holiday (usually). They are apparantly an agent as they are a little coy about who actually operates the tours, but a good guess is that the major day tour companies do something. Also another tour is a Christmas day tour of the City of London "without overwhelming tourists'
