It is always interesting to know which TV show had the most views on Christmas Day. It’s one of the most exciting days of the year, and the bookmakers are backing the King’s speech to win in back-to-back years, so what other shows might have a chance to win in 2023?
The King’s speech topped the 2022 Christmas Day ratings list, as that was the first-ever Christmas speech from King Charles after the queen passed away. The BBC show, Strictly Come Dancing, came in second for two consecutive years, while Call the Midwife was the most-watched TV show on Christmas twice, in 2016 and 2018. Michael McIntyre’s Christmas Wheel came close a couple of times in the last few years, but he has never won it.
Here are the odds for which TV show will have the highest ratings on Christmas Day 2023:
The King’s or Queen’s speeches have won in the last three years, and that’s why the best special events betting sites have the King as a huge favorite here. Doctor Who’s show wasn’t anywhere near the top 10 in the last few years, so it won’t have many winning chances. Call the Midwife was in the top five in the last two years, and it has won it twice already, so the odds on the BBC draw show are enticing here.
Strictly Come Dancing will have good winning chances, as the show has been in the top five list consistently in the last 10 years. Coronation Street had the highest ratings on Christmas Day twice, in 1999 and 2000. The ITV show came 9th and 8th in the last two years, so its winning chances are slim.
