The Strictly Come Dancing Final may have aired last week, but Strictly fans don’t have to say goodbye to the beloved TV dancing competition just yet. That’s right, the show’s annual Christmas Special is once again coming to BBC One on Christmas Day. Now isn’t that just the best gift?!

Last week’s Final saw Hamza Yassin and Jowita Przystał crowned Strictly 2022 champions, defeating Helen Skelton and Gorka Marquez, Molly Rainford and Carlos Gu, and Fleur East and Vito Coppola in what was an incredible (and emotional) finale for the dancing competition – in which all couples brought their very best.

As always, the Strictly Christmas Special will see a host of new celebrities take to the Elstree dancefloor, and on that line-up are Rosie Ramsey, Rickie Haywood-Williams, Alexandra Mardell, Larry Lamb, Nicola Roberts, and George Webster.

If you’re excited to tune into the Strictly Christmas Special, here’s when you can watch it.
