Did you know you can bet on UK Christmas TV ratings? That's right. It turns out those shiny Christmas specials aren't only good for glancing at between mince pies and Selection Box bars.
Despite a lot of movement between houses and the odd person even going abroad or to a hotel (fancy!) for the big day, there are plenty of people who still tune into the linear on the big day.
Broadcasters fall over themselves to provide the best content and win the UK Christmas TV ratings war. But will you be able to guess correctly who'll top the ratings this year?

We're going to race through some of this year's top contenders. That way you can plan your viewing schedule as well as place a few UK Christmas TV ratings wagers…
After 17 years, one of the nation's favourite sitcoms is coming to an end. Gavin & Stacey: The Finale will air on BBC One at 21:00 on Christmas Day and will go live on the iPlayer at the same time. This is truly a programme that will be much missed. The Shipman and West family have some of the most relatable characters on TV. And we seriously relate to their love of bhunas too! So it's really no surprise that at time of writing, this show was tipped to top the UK Christmas TV ratings.
No, we're not talking about the Colin Firth movie. Instead, the programme second in contention to win the UK Christmas TV ratings war is King Charles' annual address to the nation, airing at 15:00 on BBC One on Christmas Day. Depending on your household, that's just after you've finished Christmas lunch and are wearing your cracker hat, or just before Christmas dinner has been laid out. The monarch's Christmas message usually is well watched across the UK, so it'll be interesting to see if alligences still lie with Charles or if lighter entertainment gets the popular vote.
Another programme tipped to be in contention for the most watched UK TV airing over Christmas is the new offering from Wallace & Gromit. Vengeance Most Fowl is bound to be a lot of fun. We've been watching their capers for decades and still haven't had enough. In our household, this is definitely going to be on the telly on Christmas Day. But will whimsy win the day on the UK Christmas TV ratings? You can tune in at 18:10 on BBC One.
