A proper Christmas special, every night in December

Every December the same conversation happens on sofas up and down the country: what shall we put on? There are decades of brilliant British Christmas telly out there, and most of it is buried somewhere in an app.

TinselTV digs out the proper specials, tells you where they are streaming this year, and from 1 December hands you one a night, like an advent calendar for the telly. Doors 1 to 24 will be picked for your sofa by a quick quiz. Doors 25 to 31 are the same for everyone.

How the library works

Every special in the library lists when it first went out, which channel showed it, how long it runs and anything you might want to know before the kids are in the room. Each where-to-watch link carries the date it was last checked, because streaming rights move around every Christmas.
