A Christmas Carol and Last Christmas are my personal favourite Christmas Specials. We all have our own reasons why we love certain episodes more than others.
Actually, there were Doctor Who specials at Christmas when I was a kid. They were specially re-edited movie versions of stories, all shown on 27/28th of December. A regular thing in the schedule over several years. In case you weren’t aware. To me, as a kid they were new specials to enjoy in the Christmas holidays.
My ranking!!! 18. The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe 17. The Husbands of River Song 16. Twice Upon a Time 15. Revolution of the Daleks 14. Resolution 13. The Return of Doctor Mysterio 12. The Runaway Bride 11. The Snowmen 10. The Church on Ruby Road 9. The Christmas Invasion 8. Eve of the Daleks 7. The End of Time 6. The Next Doctor 5. Time of the Doctor 4. Joy to the World 3. A Christmas Carol 2. Voyage of the Damned 1. Last Christmas
Very interesting choices! I do love how different opinions on DW stories can be and the Christmas specials always seem to be more random anyway. Personally A Christmas Carol is my favourite Eleventh Doctor episode and a Christmas Day morning tradition! And The Next Doctor is a slog now, though I also definitely enjoyed it more as a kid. I’d probably swap Bride and Voyage and bump up TDTWATW, Husbands and TUAT a tier, and agree with the rest (agree 100% with all of your thoughts on Last Christmas - cool elements, but it’s just a weird miss that I never get through), nice to see some love for The Snowmen and Mysterio. Merry Christmas!
Jack was originally meant to have more appearances (maybe even as a companion) after the end of Revolution of the Daleks, judging from the cut part at the end of the script. So I don't blame it for him just being there having fun :)
Loved the video! This is my list:) 1. A Christmas Carol 2. Last Christmas 3. The Church on Ruby Road 4. The Time of the Doctor 5. Twice Upon A Time 6. The Snowmen 7. Return of Doctor Mysterio 8. The Runaway Bride 9. The Voyage of the Damned 10. The Christmas Invation 11. The End of Time 12. The Doctor, the widow and the Wardrobe 13. The Next Doctor
A Christmas Carol, Last Christmas, and The Husbands of River Song are my favorites, so I’d definitely have a different tier list; but isn’t that the great thing about Doctor Who? We all have our own personal favorites. Happy Christmas!
Husbands of river sing my favourite and then probably voyage of the dawned. Whilst not a xmas special but waters of mars I think is my favourite episode of all time as I like how it's ending echoes for the rest of tennants era
For a Christmas special I want pathos and a happy ending and ideally for it to have something for both adults and children. For me the most enjoyable one at Christmas is the Husband's of River Song. It has everything love, humour, adventure and a really lovely wrapping up of the relationship between River and the Doctor. For me its the "It's a Wonderful Life" of Doctor Who Christmas specials. Not the best episode (Genesis of the Daleks), not even the best Peter Capaldi episode (Heaven Sent) but if I was settling down after Christmas lunch it is the one I would want to watch.
You can't get past the Snowmen scene with the Tardis in the clouds and climbing the staircase. The memory worm comic scene puts it well up the list. Probably the best was the Christmas Invasion and Dr Mysterio. Add the Next Doctor, Voyage of the Damned and the Runaway Bride. The others I found a little too illogical and silly with the Christmas Carol being made just as a vehicle to bring in Katherine Jenkins.
I absolutely love Last Christmas and The Snowmen and I really like A Christmas Carol (despite the crazy breaking of every rule about time lines) and Voyage of the Damned, especially Kylie. I have never enjoyed watching The Christmas Invasion at all. It's a funny old world.
i like more the runaway bride than christmas invasion ,i also like the return of doctor Mysterio ,and maybe time of the doctor and twice upon a time (if we speak about the doctor regenerating)

This was interesting. A Christmas Carol and Last Christmas are two of my very favourites.
I think you under played the The Christmas Carol episode, just love it and watch it every year.
My best doctor who Christmas Episode is Voyage of the Damned.
Did you just put A Christmas Carol, comfortably the best Christmas special, in OK? You rogue.
Last Christmas is the best 😢 it does not deserve last place at all 😢
Yeah my tier list would be very different... but Merry Christmas anyway!
Husbands of River Song is deffo my favourite out of the lot.
A Christmas Carol is my favorite special. Matt Smith is my favorite doctor, and everything about this episode reminds why.

curious and question what program do you use to edit your videos and what mic do you use.

Doctor Mysterio is actually so fun! Peter Capaldi’s comedic chops at their best

This was a pretty fair ranking, mate, I'm not sure what mine would be but still. 😊
I thought putting The Runaway Bride at fantastic was unholy AND THEN YOU PUT LAST CHRISTMAS IN BAD🤯 And it‘s THE ONLY ONE THERE. unforgivable.
