Doctor Who Christmas Special Clip Brings Back an Old Enemy (Also, Dinosaurs)

As a long-time Whovian with a heart full of Gallifreyan nostalgia, I must say that the news about the upcoming Doctor Who Christmas Special has sent me into a time vortex of excitement! The return of dinosaurs and Villengard is an exhilarating blend of old and new that’s bound to keep us on the edge of our TARDIS seats.


The atmosphere is shaping up as a Christmas-y one for “Doctor Who” enthusiasts, and this year’s festivities are going to be quite extraordinary! Indeed, dinosaurs will be part of the upcoming Christmas special titled “Joy to the World,” and it seems that one of the Doctor’s historical adversaries – Villengard – is also set to make an appearance. To catch a sneak peek of this exciting event, take a look at the clip provided in the video below!

In the upcoming preview, the character portrayed by Ncuti Gatwa, known as the Fifteenth Doctor, discovers a puzzling briefcase that originates from Villengard, ancient foes of the Doctor. It’s quickly disclosed that if the corporation manages to implant a star seed as intended, regardless of when in time, all life forms are at risk. To make matters even more complicated, a dinosaur unexpectedly appears, escalating the situation further. The episode features Gatwa’s Doctor working alongside Nicola Coughlan, known for her role in Bridgerton, with episodes written by Steven Moffat. This special is scheduled to air on Christmas Day exclusively on Disney+.

Regarding further insights into the episode, Moffat disclosed extra details to BBC South East (through RadioTimes). He provided a bit more knowledge about the “time hotel”.

Moffat hinted at something regarding the Christmas special. Picture it in a distant, future era, suppose that a hotel company discovered the concept of time travel. You might wonder, what would be the initial action of a hotel chain with time travel? They’d recognize they had a chance to sell all the unsold nights across their hotels throughout history.

Previously, Moffat has commended Coughlan’s portrayal during the Christmas special, hinting that the actor will elicit deep emotions and potentially leave you heartbroken.

Earlier this year, Nicola was described as extraordinary; she has the power to move you deeply, possibly even make you feel heartbroken,” Moffat stated. “I’m hesitant to reveal any details about it. To be honest, I’m not entirely sure if I can discuss it, so I’ll keep quiet.

Regarding the upcoming season of “Doctor Who”, enthusiasts should look forward to the airing of Season 2 on Disney+ and BBC One around 2025. Production for Season 2 has already been completed. At this point, details about Season 2 are scant, but showrunner Russell T. Davies has revealed that Millie Gibson’s character, Ruby Sunday, will reappear in the new season, despite the emotional farewell between Ruby and The Doctor in the Season 1 finale.

As a dedicated admirer, let me confirm that the captivating tale of Ruby Sunda is yet to reach its conclusion. Rest assured, Millie Gibson will be making her reappearance. This isn’t a spoiler, it’s an undeniable fact. We’re all brimming with excitement!

This upcoming Christmas Day, you can catch the “Doctor Who” Christmas Special titled “Joy to the World” on both Disney+ and BBC One channels.
