What country is he referencing? because no I do not remember that at all

Given the England flag in their name I'm guessing the UK.

I don't think we had any social distancing restrictions during any Christmas but some did come into effect shortly after, I don't think people were allowed to visit. I remember us having a new year's party with our neighbours in the back garden, technically them not allowed to go into our house and having to stay 2 metres from them. Must have been December 2020.

There was a scandal that Boris Johnson held a Christmas party, when he told everyone else to not meet up. Wikipedia tells me, you guys had social restrictions during Christmas in 2020.

We did but you could have a certain number of people over on Christmas. It then got much stricter just after Christmas.

At least in Germany during Christmas 2020 you were only allowed to have private parties with a maximum of 5 people, from a maximum of 2 households.

This was however not enforced unless some asshole snitched on your family
