France has lifted a transit ban on British nationals with E.U. residency, meaning E.U.-based UK citizens spending Christmas in Britain are now allowed to pass through France to return to their homes in the E.U.

France has banned all non-essential travel from the UK since Dec. 18 in a bid to limit the spread of the Omicron variant of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus.
