Dr. Who’s traditional Christmas is getting a shakeup.
Meaning there won’t be one. New showrunner Chris Chibnall has decided to revamp things and the normal Christmas episode will be moved to January 1st. This will be the first year sine 2005 that a holiday episode will not be featured on the British television show.
For a whole generation growing up, Doctor Who on Christmas Day has become a tradition as much as opening presents, Christmas dinner and spending time with family. To loose it is very bad decision.

Jodie Whittaker made history with being the show’s first female doctor, as the series frequently change doctors with the most notable ones throughout the years being the likes of Matt Smith and David Tennant.
