But the dancefloor hasn’t had any time to rest as hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman are welcoming six brand new celebrities to the floor to try out their dancing skills and hopefully impress the judges for the festive special.
New first-look images have shown the six new famous faces taking a spin around the dancefloor ahead of the show.
Acting supremo Larry Lamb looked very smart as he could be seen dancing with his partner Nadiya Bychkova.
Dressed in a navy tailcoat, Larry and Nadiya performed in front of a beautiful festive backdrop that adorned the famous Strictly set.
Pop legend and Girls Aloud’s Nicola Roberts looked as stunning as ever as she could be seen holding onto partner Giovanni Pernice.
Nicola wowed in a gorgeous gold and white gown which appeared to be adorned with rhinestones as she kept her iconic red locks tied into a bun for their waltz.
Also on the celebrity special is Cbeebies star George Webster who looked to be bursting at the seams to get involved in the festive fun with his partner Amy Dowden.
He could be seen dressed in a suit as he shot one hand to the sky in front of what appeared to be a nativity backdrop.
Former Coronation Street actress Alexandra Mardell, known for playing Emma Brooker, will also be taking to the floor with pro dancer Kai Widdrington.
Kai got into the festive spirit dressed as Santa Claus while Alexandra looked stunning in a reindeer inspired costume.
Podcaster and wife of Chris Ramsey, Rosie, kicked things up a notch as she danced with Neil Jones, who failed to be partnered up with a celebrity in the latest series of the show.
The pair cut some shapes in front of a giant gingerbread house adorned with candy canes for the fun and energetic looking routine.
Radio 1 star Rickie Haywood-Williams appeared to be attempting to become the king of Latin with his fiery routine.
The presenter has been partnered with Luba Mushtuk for the Christmas special who looked dazzling in a frilly purple and blue number.
As ever, the four judges will be back on hand to offer up their guidance and critiques for the special episode as well as dishing out the all important scores to the contestants.
There will be another surprise Christmas present during the show in the shape of former judge Bruno Tonioli who will be wowing audiences with a guest performance.
