Assume in training soon so would come out and recorded in just over four weeks.
The show is filmed Monday, November 28, at Elstree Film Studios in Borehamwood.
Doors open at 5:25pm and the show starts at 6pm.

So shorter timescale to main show.

I thought the Christmas Special was normally people who don't have time to do a full run ... this just seems to be old contestants ... it's like a tour line up

Had a guess Melvin would be back when he was with Jeanette last week on ITT, second chance.

I know Melvin was pity casting due to the DOgate but I'm happy to see him back and having another go .

They had "one off" dancers for a few years, but went back to having former contestants last year as I recall.

Not since 2013, it hasn't been (and even that format was only for four years).

It was 'Champion of Champions' from 2004-09, then it changed to new celebs who couldn't do the full run in 2010. It changed back in 2014 after everyone realised that since 2010 the new celebs really weren't big ratings draws.

It seems a daft decision to me to put Melvin on, especially when there are no former champions at all. They could've had Jay or Caroline on.

I guess they will be dancing with...
Melvin & Janette (obvious)
Ainsley & Karen (they danced together on the tour)
Gethin & Chloe (no other female pros and hope she gets someone)
Frankie & Gorka
Pamela & Neil
Denise & Pasha

Did they mention pro partners on ITT? Apart from Melvin, Denise is the only one who could go with their original partner.

Well for the first time i won't be in a hurry to watch it on Christmas Day - no interest in any of them!

Six former Strictly celebrities will be taking to the floor for an all-star Christmas extravaganza on BBC One as the previous ballroom contestants return for a yuletide special filled with festive fun.

This year the leading ladies set to trip the light fantastic are:

Olympian and presenter, Denise Lewis (series 2)
Pop star, Frankie Bridge (series 12)
Writer and actress, Pamela Stephenson (series 8)

The gentlemen set to rock around the Christmas tree are:

Celebrity chef, Ainsley Harriott (series 13)
TV presenter, Gethin Jones (series 5)
Radio and TV host, Melvin Odoom (series 14)

Strange to put Melvin in, especially as he was in this year, that's never happened, he had his chance, why not put the week two loser in as well?

I think it's a bit of a BBC pay off, him not saying anything about all that happened and as a sort of apology. I mean he's not a fan favourite, he did two bad dances that nobody voted for.
Very strange situation there.

Glad to see Denise back, hopefully with Ian.

Geth is a lovely man and "wuzrobbed" of second place because of "Mattgate"!

Couldn't Ainsley? He danced with Natalie didn't he? Although as I remember, Christmas partners are usually different anyway.

Except he didn't get his chance in the dance-off because of Anastacia's drama.

yeah its usually the 1st few out of the main series, I think Ainsley will get someone else and Pamela to be Antons swan song maybe if he goes this year?
