Nicola Sturgeon says she hopes to agree a "common framework" for Christmas lockdown across the UK today.
But the First Minister warned easing of restrictions in Scotland "might differ" to the rest of the country as key talks take place around the festive break.
The First Minister is currently locked in a meeting with leaders from the devolved administrations and Cabinet Office Minister, Michael Gove.
It is understood UK Government chiefs plan to loosen restrictions over the festive period to allow three households to meet under the one roof.
Proposals being discussed this afternoon include different homes being given the green light to form an exclusive "bubble".
If approved, travel restrictions will be lifted between December 23 and 27, Sky News reports.
Details of the plan are still to be rubber stamped by a meeting of the government's emergency COBRA committee, which is currently meeting.
However, Ms Sturgeon has warned rules north of the border may differ slightly.
She told the Scottish parliament this afternoon: "I will take part in a COBRA meeting later today, where it is hoped that we will agree a common framework, albeit that some details for example on the precise definition of household might differ to reflect the different circumstances in each nation.
"Any easing of restrictions will be temporary, it will be limited, and it will be accompanied by advice on the precautions that we should all take to minimise risk."
