The Masked Singer Christmas special line-up: Who are the characters?

by

The popular show, The Masked Singer, is celebrating the holidays with a special Christmas episode designed to delight viewers.

Before the show fully returns in 2026, ITV is airing a special Christmas episode of the popular guessing game. Four celebrities will perform well-known Christmas songs while disguised, and viewers will try to guess their identities.

Jonathan Ross, Davina McCall, Mo Gilligan, and Maya Jama are returning as the judges who try to figure out the celebrities hidden behind the costumes.

The judging panel will receive hints and the show will be filled with festive spirit. Joining us are some beloved panto stars, including Fairy Godmother (Su Pollard), The Dame (Christopher Biggins), Wicked Stepmother (Lesley Joseph), and Prince Charming (Basil Brush).

Who will be appearing in this year’s Christmas special, and can you guess which famous faces are playing the characters?

The Masked Singer Christmas special: Full character line-up

Mistletoe

Goose A-Laying

This celebrity’s outfit is so over-the-top, it’s like they’re sending you on a silly, pointless errand! It’s very theatrical, almost like a costume from a pantomime, and it makes you wonder if they’re a seasoned performer or just overwhelmed by all the attention.

Figgy Pudding

Okay, so Figgy Pudding is really going all out with their presentation – it looks amazing! But as a film buff, I’m always wondering if the substance matches the style. Will their actual performance be as satisfying as their dazzling appearance? I’m hoping it’s not just a pretty package!

Santa’s Sack

But will their performance be just what we asked for this Christmas, or a lump of coal?
