This Morning to air on Christmas Day as big stars are wheeled out for festive schedule shake-up | The Sun
THIS Morning will be on our screens on Christmas Day as the channel wheels out its festive big guns.
Viewers can tune into the popular day-time show as they usually would.
The programme typically includes a performance, quizzes, and an exchange of Christmas gifts among the hosts.
The show is set to air at 10am on Monday morning just after The Lorraine Christmas Day special which starts at nine.
Lorraine is known for pulling all the stops and bringing on the festive spirit.
In previous years, the host greeted special guests and featured performances from notable stars like Craig David and Emeli Sande.

Pay for the new duo is understood to be around £550,000 each — £150,000 less than Holly and Phil.
