DOCTOR WHO Christmas Special Trailer Teases Two Doctors and a Hotel Full of Time Portals

As a dedicated fan with over two decades of time travel under my belt, I eagerly await the Doctor Who Christmas special every year like a TARDIS-loving Time Lord waits for regeneration. The trailer for “Joy to the World” has me positively giddy, with its tantalizing glimpses of dinosaurs, train adventures, and not one but two Doctors!

Since its comeback on TV in 2005, the Christmas specials of Doctor Who have become a beloved tradition for the long-running series. Believe it or not, this show has been airing for 20 years! These action-packed stories are designed to be enjoyed by both devoted fans and newcomers, offering an easy entry point. This year’s special, titled “Joy to the World,” promises dinosaurs, train journeys, appearances by two Doctors, and much more, as the Fifteenth Doctor takes us on a Christmas adventure through the Time Hotel while battling villains across various locations.

This brief video crams quite a bit into a single minute. It shows the Doctor’s arrival at the Time Hotel, a peculiar spot where it seems like Christmas is happening simultaneously across various locations. I must admit, the hotel’s elegant design and spacious atrium are captivating, if only it were a genuine destination for a getaway. Nonetheless, the Doctor promptly embarks on some sort of endeavor and interacts with Joy (played by Nicola Coughlan), who happens to be lodging in a room and is not enjoying a rather uncomfortable encounter with a Silurian.

In this intriguing scene, multiple instances of the Doctor are involved in some complex temporal matters as he seeks guidance from another self on navigating from point A to point B. The unfolding events promise to be engaging. We also catch a glimpse of Ruby departing from the TARDIS, hinting that the Doctor might miss her and find comfort in having Joy with him now.

Let me provide a concise summary of the Doctor Who Christmas special trailer for better understanding:

In the year 2024, upon arriving at a London hotel, Joy stumbles upon a concealed entrance leading to the enigmatic Time Hotel. Inside, she encounters peril, prehistoric creatures, and the Doctor. However, an ominous scheme is unraveling globally, perfectly timed for the festive season.

As a gamer, I’m thrilled to share some exciting new casting details! Joining Gatwa, Coughlan, and myself is Steph de Whalley as Anita, Jonathan Aris as Melnak, Joel Fry as Trev, Peter Benedict as Basil, Julia Watson as Hilda, and Niamh Marie Smith as Sylvia. This episode was masterfully crafted by the legendary Steven Moffat, who served as its executive producer and writer. Alex Sanjiv Pillai took the helm as director for this fantastic piece of work.
