Christmas is just around the corner and it's time to start planning our holiday traditions. While some may be looking forward to opening presents from Santa and indulging in a delicious roast dinner, others are more excited about the Christmas TV schedule. And who can blame them? There's nothing quite like snuggling up on the sofa with a Terry's Chocolate Orange and a glass of Baileys, while binge-watching our favorite shows.
After a busy festive season filled with parties, pub trips, and walks in the cold, Christmas TV serves as the perfect antidote to relax and unwind. It's a stress-free way to spend the day, with the only difficult decision being what to watch from the jam-packed schedule of TV gold, frankincense, and myrrh. With the return of beloved shows like The Split, Death in Paradise, and Strike - The Ink Black Heart, it's hard to choose just one. But don't worry, we've done the hard work for you and narrowed it down to our top 7 picks for this year's Christmas TV schedule - which is arguably the best in years.
First up, we have the highly anticipated Gavin and Stacey Christmas special. It's been five years since we last saw Nessa, Smithy, and Stacey on our screens, and fans have been eagerly awaiting the resolution to the huge cliffhanger from the last season. Will Smithy say yes to Nessa's proposal? This is bound to be the TV event of the year and we can't wait to see what the gang has been up to.
For those who want a bit of chaos with their Christmas, look no further than Outnumbered. Join the Brockman family as they navigate their way through the holiday season, with parents Pete and Sue trying to juggle everything while their mischievous children, Jake, Ben, and Karen, continue to cause chaos. And let's not forget the nostalgia factor, as the show originally aired between 2007 and 2014.
Fans of Doctor Who will be delighted to see the return of the Fifteenth Doctor in an epic festive adventure. This time, the Doctor is joined by Bridgerton's Nicola Coughlan, and showrunner Russell T Davies promises a "mad" plot that takes us to different places and explores the Doctor's character when he's alone.
But the excitement doesn't stop there, as BBC has also brought back the beloved duo of Wallace and Gromit in a brand new 70-minute film. Get ready for some revenge with the return of their nemesis, Feathers McGraw, who is out for blood after being released from prison. This is definitely a must-watch for fans of the iconic claymation series.
Speaking of revivals, ITV is treating us to a new version of the classic 80s darts-themed quiz show, Bullseye. Hosted by Freddie Flintoff, this Christmas special will bring back all the nostalgia and fun of the original show. And for those who love a bit of sparkle, the Strictly Christmas special is sure to bring some festive cheer with celebrity contestants battling it out on the dance floor.
But if you prefer a bit of drama and suspense, look no further than EastEnders. While the exact plot details are being kept under wraps, fans have been theorizing about what could happen in this year's Christmas episode. Will Linda's alcoholism take center stage? And could we see the return of Danny Dyer's character, Mick Carter, who disappeared into the sea in 2022?
With such an amazing lineup, there's something for everyone on this year's Christmas TV schedule. So grab your snacks, get cozy on the sofa, and enjoy the best festive TV offering in years. Happy holidays!
