Strictly Come Dancing Christmas special 2024 – open thread

Yesterday at 10:30 AM

Seasons greetings, glitterati! Which judge has been on the egg nog – and who will win the silver star? Join us for every minute of the ho-ho-hoofing

Which dances will be delightful? Whose footwork will be frightful? And who will be Strictly's worst ever Widdicombe? It's just 11 days since Chris McCausland and Dianne Buswell lifted the fabled glitterball trophy in one of the most joyous Strictly moments ever. It's a mere four days since we were treated to anniversary documentary, Strictly Come Dancing: 20 Fabulous Years. Now we've got another sequin-spangled gift to unwrap.

Season's greetings, glitterati. Michael here, your regular choreographic correspondent. I hope you're having a merry old time. Don't peak too early because the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special airs at 3.55pm today on BBC One. There's no liveblog but we've opened the comments below so you can discuss the Yuletide routines, raise your tinsel-adorned scoring paddle and spread some sparkly cheer.
