Christmas on the Farm 2023 will see Helen Skelton, Jules Hudson, and more familiar faces celebrating the very best of the festive season in what's bound to be a must-watch Christmas TV feel-good special.

Just days after Winter on the Farm comes to an end, we'll be taking another trip back to Cannon Hall Farm in South Yorkshire to ring in the Christmas season. Our usual presenters will be joined by a range of guests including visits from stars of The Yorkshire Vet and Emmerdale.

Expect to see Cannon Hall Farm light up for the festivities this year. There'll no doubt be plenty of animals to spot, plus David Melleney will be visiting some reindeer in the Cairngorms, and there's going to be a bit of a competition on the farm, too, judging by what JB Gill said of the Christmas special!

He called Christmas on the Farm 2023 "an extravaganza", adding: "We'll have Christmas food, treats and a choir. I will be doing a competition with the Nicholson brothers to see who's best at gift wrapping, which I will win!"

Is there a trailer?

Channel 5 hasn't released a trailer for Christmas on the Farm 2023 at the time of writing, though since we were treated to a snapshot of Winter on the Farm ahead of the show's return, we're hoping to get a sneak peek at Cannon Hall Farm dressed for Christmas! 

If and when a trailer arrives, we'll be sure to include it here.
