BBC1’s Christmas Day schedule revealed with VERY late night episode of EastEnders – and Strictly Xmas special

Turkey, trimmings, and telly! That's the holy trinity of a proper British Christmas, innit?

And the BBC? They're practically Santa when it comes to dishing out the festive viewing schedule. Word on the street (aka, the BBC One press release) is that this year's lineup is pure cracker, mate!

Hold on to your Santa hats, EastEnders fans! This year, you're getting a double dose of drama from Albert Square. That's right, TWO episodes on Christmas Day!

The first helping of Walford mayhem lands at 7.45pm, a tad later than last year, so you've got time to recover from all that Christmas pud.

But wait, there's more! A second slice of EastEnders is being served up at a *very* late 9.45pm, kicking off after yuletide episodes of "Call The Midwife" and "Amandaland". Will you still be awake? Is it worth it? OF COURSE!

Expect the usual suspects – Slaters, Beales, and Brannings – to be knee-deep in festive feuds and shocking secrets. Because what's Christmas without a little drama?

And for those who just can't get enough, fear not! The Beeb are chucking another couple of episodes your way on Boxing Day. Consider it the perfect hangover cure.

But that's not all folks! Dust off your dancing shoes, because the "Strictly Come Dancing" Christmas Special is back to sprinkle some glitter on your holiday.

After weeks of teasing, the BBC has finally revealed the full lineup, along with the all-important air time. Set your reminders, people!

This year’s show promises a proper festive feast of famous faces, all battling it out for that coveted glitterball trophy. And with Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman hosting their final show, the pressure is on!

So, who's braving the ballroom? Let's take a peek at the stars who'll be waltzing their way into our hearts (or maybe tripping over their toes).

First out of the stocking: The Queen of the Jungle herself, Scarlett Moffatt, fresh from her Gogglebox glory! Can she swap creepy crawlies for cha-cha-chas?

Joining her is All Saints songstress Mel Blatt, hoping to spice up the dance floor with some '90s pop magic. Never ever give up, Mel!

EastEnders legend Nicholas Bailey is trading the Queen Vic for a Viennese Waltz. Will he bring the drama to the dance floor?

And get ready for some serious muscle as Gladiators star Jodie Ounsley flexes her dancing prowess. Awooga!

Rounding out the lineup are former Westlife heartthrob Brian McFadden and funnyman Babatunde Aléshé, hoping to charm the judges with their moves (and maybe a few jokes).

Here's your essential viewing guide, so you don't miss a single sparkly second:
