What Christmas TV specials will be on this year?
Have I got some good news for you…
Despite most of this year resembling a car crash, most of our favourite TV Christmas specials are back for 2020!
Hold the phone, Christmas is saved.
Christmas specials
Unless you’re Ebenezer himself, everyone loves a Christmas TV special.
This year, you can expect the usual giggles from sitcoms such as Birds of a Feather, game shows like The Chase, and even the return of Dawn French in The Vicar of Dibley.
There are cookery specials in abundance, reality TV shows, and of course, my favourite, Call The Midwife.
Sadly, COVID-19 has meant that there is no Strictly special, but there is a compilation show, so we can still get a dose of glitter.
Here’s what you can expect, and I’m sure there will be more once the schedules are announced.
