The annual “Doctor Who” Christmas special comes to Disney+ on Christmas Day.

The Doctor meets Nicola Coughlan’s Joy, a Silurian and a dinosaur in a thrilling new clip from the upcoming Doctor Who Christmas special, “Joy to the World.”

What’s Happening:

  • A new clip from the upcoming Doctor Who Christmas special premiered today as part of the BBC’s Children in Need event.
