The monarch, 93, will be reunited with her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, 98, who now spends most of his time in a cottage on the Norfolk estate.
The couple will be joined by family, including the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and their children, for Christmas festivities next week.

The Duke and Duchess will not attend as they are spending son Archie’s first Christmas with Meghan’s mother Doria in the US.
The Queen will remain in Norfolk until after the anniversary of her father’s death on 6 February.
The Queen and her family usually wait until the day before Christmas to decorate their tree at Sandringham House in Norfolk, gathering in the White Drawing Room on Christmas Eve to put the finishing touches to a 20ft tree cut from the estate.
