Christmas with the Stars (and Matt Lucas)

Bringing festive cheer to Radio 2, Matt is live this Christmas Day for two hours of fun.

Matt Lucas hosts his very special Christmas Day celebration, joined by some celebrity chums on the phone, listeners... and his mother.
With star phone calls from celebs explaining what they are up to on Christmas Day, to a 'Christmas Dinner Watch', courtesy of Matt’s mum, it’s his very special take on the seasonal celebrations.

Matt will be taking your calls to ask what your best and worst presents were this year and finding out just who the β€˜panic buyers’ are that leave it to Christmas Eve to get all of their gifts. And there’s a load of great music too, with an amazing hand-picked variety of Christmas tracks, old and new, including some brilliant alternatives mixed in with all the classics we love. Expect lots of dedications to those working hard up and down the land during the festive period.
