It's the most wonderful time of the year! Well technically it is but we all know that it can get more than a little stressful trying to plan your TV schedule over the next few days.

First of all, we would probably suggest utilising your recording features to the full potential as there are quite a few shows on at the same time that are definitely worth a watch.

Here are the best picks:

1. Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special, TV3, 6.20pm

Well, it did massively well in the ratings war against X Factor this year so we can only imagine this is here to stay. Abbey Clancy, Alison Hammond, Cassidy Little, Harry Judd, Lisa Snowden and Tom Chambers will all take part in the show this year.

Here's a clip from last year.

2. Dowton Abbey, TV3, 9pm

The very last episode will air on Christmas Day on ITV and UTV but it won't make it to our channels until the next day. TV3 will air the last of the series on St Stephens Day and it promises to be a tearjerker.

3. Big Fat Quiz of the Year, Channel 4, 9pm

Twelve months. Celebrity panellists. And one very sarcastic host. It's the Big Fat Quiz of the Year and there are some questions that need answering.

Here's a clip from an old one.

4. Captain Phillips, RTÉ One, 10.25pm

This is well worth a watch on Stephen's Day. A boat taken over by pirates, lives in danger, one man trying to save everyone's life. High levels of stress. It's all worth it. 

5. Panti Does 2015, RTÉ 2, 10.55pm

Ireland's most famous drag performer looks back on the 20 most momentous occasions in Irish life for 2015.
