Once the turkey is cooked and the presents wrapped, why not settle down to indulge in some fabulously festive shows on TV, or plan a cinema trip? Here’s our top pick of crackers to look forward to, from cookery and comedy to timeless family favourites…
1 THE GREAT BRITISH BAKE OFF FESTIVE SPECIAL
The Bake Off crew are back for this highly seasoned festive special. This year, cast members of Channel 4’s hit drama It’s a Sin swap the Pink Palace for the famous tent. Olly Alexander joins co-stars Lydia West, Nathaniel Curtis and Shaun Dooley (right with hosts Matt Lucas and Noel Fielding and judges Dame Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood) to put their baking skills to the test. Can they impress the judges with their tasty Christmassy creations?
Christmas Day at 8pm on Channel 4.
2 BREAKING DAD CHRISTMAS SPECIAL
Father-son duo Bradley and Barney Walsh are up to their usual hilarious and chaotic antics for this one-off adventure. As they embark on a snowy trip to Iceland in their RV, they push themselves to frosty new limits as they explore volcanoes, glaciers and breathtaking landscapes. And their trip wouldn’t be complete without some terrifying festive challenges. If one episode is not enough, the pair will be back with another full series in the new year.
