The Masked Singer has confirmed which characters will be competing in the 2024 Christmas special.
The competition will be back on Boxing Day for another bite-sized festive instalment, with four masked celebrities competing and eventually getting unmasked in one episode.
The four characters are Star, Turkey Crown, Nutcracker, and Christmas Cracker, and they'll be competing in two head-to-head sing-offs before a final clash for the overall win.

Mo Gilligan, Jonathan Ross, and Davina McCall are back on the panel, with national treasures Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders.
What to Read Next
As for the celebrities underneath the masks, waiting and seeing if your guesses are on the money is a huge part of the show, so we won't know in advance.
Host Joel Dommett said that he was very excited to have French and Saunders on the panel, as they haven't done anything together in a while.

Jennifer herself said that she hopes the comedy duo will be able to work together to try and work out who's under the masks.
"Dawn is far more up to date with the who's who of showbiz, so I'm hoping she'll be giving me some suggestions," she said. "My biggest fear is not recognising the celebrity who does actually have to 'take it off!'"
Dawn, however, joked that she's less keen to work as a team, and wants to embarrass Jennifer, stating: "We love each other, but a competition is a competition and I will take that beatch down with no mercy."
The Masked Singer Christmas Special will air at 7.30pm on December 26 on ITV1 and ITVX, and on STV and STV Player in Scotland. The main show will return in early 2025 with a new panelist and aftershow spin-off.
