Here is BBC America's synopsis of the annual event episode.
It’s Christmas Eve, 1938, when Madge Arwell comes to the aid of an injured Spaceman Angel as she cycles home, in this year’s Doctor Who Christmas Special, starring Matt Smith as the Doctor.
He promises to repay her kindness – all she has to do is make a wish.
Three years later, a devastated Madge escapes war-torn London with her two children for a dilapidated house in Dorset. She is crippled with grief at the news her husband has been lost over the channel, but determined to give Lily and Cyril the best Christmas ever.
The Arwells are surprised to be greeted by a madcap caretaker whose mysterious Christmas gift leads them into a magical wintry world. Here, Madge will learn how to be braver than she ever thought possible. And that wishes can come true…
You can view the trailer below.
Though fans hoping for a swift return with new episodes in the New Year will unfortunately have to hold their breath for some time.
Doctor Who showrunner Steven Moffat hints that we won't see the popular Time Lord and the TARDIS back on the airwaves until the fall of 2012. By that time the character will be firmly positioned in the on-deck circle to set up for what's in store for the 50th Anniversary of Doctor Who in 2013.
