Why not celebrate the holiday with the Doctor?

Here’s what’s up in the world of television for Monday, December 25. All times are Eastern, ho ho ho.

Top pick

Doctor Who: Twice Upon A Time (BBCA, 9 p.m.): Peter Capaldi takes a bow in his last stint as the Doctor for this 90-minute special. The trailer didn’t give us much to go on, unless you’re a big fan of the sonic sunglasses. But there will be a regeneration, and Caroline Siede will generate a review to match it.

Regular coverage

It’s Christmas—no series is foolish enough to air a normal episode.

Wild card

American Dad (TBS, 8 p.m.): Luckily, American Dad has never worried about looking foolish. This new Christmas special finds Roger learning about Hanukkah, which prompts a sudden conversion to Judaism. That should go smoothly.
