Carolling refers to the practice of singing carols, most commonly Christmas carols, typically performed in groups going door to door in neighbourhoods or gathering in public spaces during the festive season. The term carries warm, communal connotations and is closely associated with tradition and seasonal celebration. In British English it retains the double-l spelling. While most often tied to Christmas, it can technically apply to any carol-singing occasion, though that broader usage is rare in practice.
The neighbours spent Sunday afternoon carolling through the high street, collecting donations for the food bank.
