World’s Most Extraordinary Christmas Dinners will look at the lengths people go to make Christmas Day special.

The one-off programme follows people from very different backgrounds, including astronauts in space and a submarine crew, as they prepare Christmas dinner. 

The channel has also promised seasonal episodes of familiar shows.

First Dates Christmas will not only see new blind dates, but will also feature the return of some of the show's previous happy couples.

Meanwhile, in The Secret Life of the Zoo at Christmas, the UK’s first ever sun bear cub is born. The Secret Life of 5 Year-Olds on Holiday returns with some of the cast going on their first holiday abroad.

The festive season will also include a Gogglesprogs Christmas Special, back from its two-year break, where children will reflect on the year’s most memorable TV moments.
