Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Tuesday, December 25. All times are Eastern.
Top pick
Call The Midwife (PBS, 9 p.m.): How did they pull this off? It’s not like Call The Midwife has Game Of Thrones money to burn. Yet that photo doesn’t lie: Call The Midwife secured the one and only Santa Claus for a guest spot. What a get! Game Of Thrones, Ed Sheeran is no Kris Kringle. Big Little Lies, PBS will see your Meryl Streep and raise you a Jolly Old Saint Nick. This is like that time that Alias convinced David Cronenberg to play a psychedelic neurologist in back to back episodes, only instead of one of the preeminent directors of the body horror subgenre dropping in for a quick story, it’s a legendary figure of folklore, taking time out of his busy shopping mall schedule to hang out with the nuns of Nonnatus House.
