Collapsing on the sofa in front of the telly after Christmas dinner is as much a festive tradition as turkey and sprouts themselves in the UK.
But you might want to get out the Scrabble instead this year as the TV schedule is a little lacklustre.
Some viewers have branded the BBC’s offering boring, after the line-up was shared on Twitter.

The likely suspects are all in there for Christmas Day: Strictly Come Dancing, EastEnders, Call The Midwife and Mrs Brown’s Boys Christmas specials.
There’s also Michael McIntyre’s Big Christmas Show, but something major is missing. Doctor Who.
The festive special will be time hopping to New Year’s Day; it’s the first time it won’t appear on Christmas Day since its reboot 13 years ago!

Viewers have hit up Twitter to complain about the lack of originality…
This is a totally uninspiring lineup – time for licence fee to end

Another reason to abolish the television licence! I’d sooner watch the fridge defrost than indulge on any of that bilge !

God, just how poor is this line up. Very is the answer to that.

So this is what we pay a licence fee for? Bloody hell

Many viewers said they would be switching over to Netflix this Christmas instead.
The streaming service will be showing a load of great films including The Holiday, A Christmas Prince: The Royal Wedding, Christmas Chronicles and the Princess Switch.
This is why I prefer to pay for Netflix than the Tv licence @BBCOne

The BBC has unveiled a range of box sets of favourite shows that will be available on iPlayer across the festive season, though, so perhaps we can forgive them a little!
🎁 Happy Christmas! More than 100 @BBC box sets available on @BBCiPlayer over the festive period: https://t.co/UI1QKFZAuC pic.twitter.com/ciIS2HGEeU
