In the words of Nessa, ÔÇ£OH, OH, OH, Merry ChristmasÔÇØ. This comedic show written by Ruth Jones and James Corden creates the perfect image of Christmas in Wales in comparison to Essex, guaranteeing to make any student studying in Cardiff laugh at their token ÔÇ£Welsh friendÔÇØ.

On the other hand, if you are the token ÔÇ£Welsh friendÔÇØ, as relatable as the show may be, you are guaranteed to have jokes made on your behalf on more than one occasion. ┬áThe show has all the trimmings of a Christmas special, as it begins with the iconic scene of Smithy singing ÔÇÿDo they know itÔÇÖs Christmas?ÔÇÖ whilst driving. This scene not only inspired CordenÔÇÖs ÔÇÿCarpool KaraokeÔÇÖ series, but also instantly puts everyone in the Christmas spirit as itÔÇÖs impossible to refrain from singing along.

The special also features Doris, the lovable old lady who we all relate to or even aspire to be at Christmas, ÔÇ£IÔÇÖve been drinking all day. IÔÇÖm drunk now truth be told.ÔÇØ. The episode contains all the usual drama of a family Christmas, although the drama is never ending in these two families. Will we ever find out what happened on that bloody fishing trip?!

So, this Christmas letÔÇÖs put Gavin and Stacey on the telly, or perhaps even the behind-the-scenes episode ÔÇÖ12 Days of ChristmasÔÇÖ, and be like Doris, and get ÔÇ£absolutely twattedÔÇØ!
