Everyone knows that Christmas is a time for family, food and endless television watching.

Each year, the festive season brings us some specials from our favourite programmes.

Here's what to look out for this year.

 

The Great British Bake Off - BBC1, Christmas Day, 4:45pm and Stephen's Day, 7pm

The highly anticipated Christmas Bake off will be spread across two episodes and will feature former contestants Howard Middleton and Cathryn Dresser.

It will be mad even more emotional by the fact that it's the last time Mel, Sue, Mary and Paul will all be together on the show.

 

Mrs Brown's Boys - RTÉ One Christmas Day, 10:25pm

It's now become the norm to expect a yuletide special from Brendan O'Carroll's massively successful comedy.

You'll catch this year's helping, featuring another chaotic Christmas in the Brown household late on Christmas Night.

Bridget and Eamon - RTÉ One Christmas Eve, 10:05pm

Fans of RTÉ's retro comedy can expect another brand new Christmas episode this year.

The story? Bridget accidentally kills Eamon's mammy with an electric carving knife. This should be good!

Pull Like A Dog - RTÉ One December 27, 9:30pm

We all agreed that Olympic Rowers Paul and Gary O'Donovan needed their own TV show after their TV appearances in Rio.

Well, it's finally happened and a one-hour documentary about the boys will be on our screens on 27 December. Pull Like a Dog will document the lads' success in Rio, their triumphant return to Skibbereen and everything that followed Olympic glory.

 

Doctor Who - BBC1, Christmas Day, 5:45pm

For this year's special, the Twelfth Doctor, played by Peter Capaldi will be joining forces with the mysterious superhero called "The Ghost".

Little Britain's Matt Lucas returns to the cast for the festive episode.
