In a moment of difficulty, Sue and Pete attempt to bring the family (including one grandchild) together for a traditional Christmas celebration while also delivering some unwelcome news. However, their plans are thrown off course by fate, unexpected neighbours, hyenas, and bus replacement services.

The BBC is planning a bumper 2024 Christmas for us TV fans, already Call The Midwife Christmas special has been confirmed and of course, fan-favourite Gavin and Stacey will also return for a one-off and final Xmas special and now comedy series Outnumbered has also been announced for a one-off festive show.

Returning for a one-off 40-minute Christmas special, the whole gang is back and will follow the chaos in the downsized home of Pete and Sue Brockman, as they grapple with the challenges of parenting kids who are now adults, with their own lives to lead.

Gathering all their offspring (including a grandchild) to try and celebrate a “traditional” family Christmas but it wouldn’t be Outnumbered if chaos wasn’t ensued.

With fate, neighbours, hyenas and bus replacement services getting in their way, could Christmas be a disaster? we can’t wait to watch.
