The half hour episode will follow the friendly ghosts of Button House in their efforts to repay Alison's (Charlotte Ritchie) generosity with a Christmas present.

With Alison due to return in a matter of hours, the ghosts are in a race against the clock. Especially when her and Mike's (Kiell Smith-Bynoe) journey hits a bump in the road and they are forced to reassess their Christmas Day plans.

Meanwhile, Kitty (Lolly Adefope) gets her moment in the limelight when she gets a much-needed pep talk from a surprising source.

The special will see the full Horrible Histories troupe reunite. But two of the ghosts, Jim Howick (Pat) and Mathew Baynton (Thomas), also got the main writing credits on the episode and will get together for an episode of the companion podcast Inside... Ghosts to discuss their TV special.

Ghosts: Christmas Special will air on BBC One on 25th December 2022 at 7.25pm.
