Disney+: The 'Doctor Who' holiday special is a much-needed Christmas treat

Let’s keep it 100 - you’re going to need a break from the 24-hour A Christmas Story special on all those network channels this December 25, so what better way to take a break than loading up Disney+ and a ‘Doctor Who’ holiday special?

Cinematic stars Ncuti Gatwa and Millie Gibson link up for a full-fledged must-see. Peep the details and get excited about this trailer.

The holidays came early as Disney+ released a teaser for the highly-anticipated “Doctor Who” Christmas Special, “The Church on Ruby Road,” ahead of the December 25 premiere (available at 9:55 a.m. PT / 12:55 p.m. PT).

• The Christmas Special welcomes Ncuti Gatwa as The Fifteenth Doctor and Millie Gibson as his new companion, Ruby Sunday. 

• Additional cast in the special includes: Davina McCall (herself), Michelle Greenidge (Carla Sunday), Angela Wynter (Cherry Sunday) and Anita Dobson (Mrs. Flood).

• About the special: Long ago on Christmas Eve, a baby was abandoned in the snow. Today, Ruby Sunday meets the Doctor, stolen babies, goblins and perhaps the secret of her birth. 

• Earlier today, Gatwa and Gibson pushed the button to light the London Eye landmark in the colors of the iconic “Doctor Who” Time Vortex earlier to celebrate the premiere.

• Additionally, a blue carpet world premiere screening of the Christmas Special and Q&A with Gatwa, Gibson and showrunner Russell T Davies took place at the British Film Institute, Southbank today.

• “Doctor Who” is produced by Bad Wolf with BBC Studios, for BBC and Disney Branded Television. Executive producers include Davies (writer and showrunner), Jane Tranter, Julie Gardner, Joel Collins and Phil Collinson.

• "Doctor Who" 60th Anniversary Specials "The Star Beast," "Wild Blue Yonder," and "The Giggle" are now streaming on Disney+.
