There will be no Christmas Day episode of Doctor Who this year

News Just In... The latest issue of Doctor Who Magazine CONFIRMS there will be NO #DoctorWho Christmas special this year, and it will instead move to NEW YEAR'S DAY!

so for the first time since 2005 there will be no #DoctorWho Christmas special, instead there will be an episode airing on New Years Day, tbh I’m just happy we’re still getting a special no matter when it airs

I’m a bit sad that there isn’t a #DoctorWho Christmas special because the show has been my family when I haven’t had one, but I’m excited for an extra episode either way and change is what the show is all about. #changemydear

admittedly a bit sad at the news cos Doctor Who's been part of my Christmas Day tradition as long as I can remember oh well

For a whole generation growing up, Doctor Who on Christmas Day has become a tradition as much as opening presents, Christmas dinner and spending time with family. To loose it is very bad decision.

I’m Australian and we got it Boxing Day and our tree would already be down along with most decorations so it was a bit weird really. Change might do it good.

The one thing I do really like about losing the Christmas special is uncoupling Doctor Who from a religious holiday. I mean, there's nothing about Doctor Who that should tether it to Christianity, there's a whole universe of faiths to connect to.

Gonna go out on a limb here and say that this is most definitely NOT a good thing. For a supposed flagship show not to have a presence on the Beeb's Christmas Day schedule is a step down, no matter how anyone wants to try and spin it. #DoctorWho #Xmashttps://www.thegallifreytimes.com/news/dwm-confirms-no-doctor-who-christmas-special-this-year/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter …

Doctor Who isn't on at Christmas and people are acting as if Chris Chibnall has personally come to their house and murdered Father Christmas right in front of their entire family and then left with their presents and Christmas dinner with a huge grin on his face.

Controversial opinion: like moving Doctor Who from Saturday to Sundays, moving to Christmas Special to New Years is a smart strategic move. Sherlock was getting 11-14m on New Years Day. Whereas Who can only meet expectations of Tennant/Smith on Dec 25th. This is the right move.

Doctor Who moving from Christmas to New Year is... actually pretty damn exciting. So many story possibilities you could make out of that. The TV Movie already showed us the potential, so now let's have some modern takes on the Doctor saving the new year! #DoctorWho

There is a #DoctorWho 'Christmas' Special this year. It's just on a different day. Just so you know....

Who’s up for joining me on a #doctorwho #christmasinvasion joint watch 3pm Christmas day??!
