Get ready for a festive treat as we reveal the winners of the highly anticipated Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special 2025! This year's edition was a true spectacle, with an incredible line-up of celebrity dancers and some jaw-dropping performances. But here's where it gets controversial... some might argue that the results were a little too predictable.
The special, hosted by the dynamic duo Tess and Claudia, showcased the incredible talent of six Christmas celebrity couples, who all managed to impress the judges with their moves. And this is the part most people miss: the competition was fierce, but the spirit of Christmas brought everyone together on the dance floor.
And the winners are...
TV personality Scarlett Moffatt and her professional partner, Vito Coppola, took home the Strictly Christmas Star Trophy! Their Cha Cha to Cher's classic, "DJ Play A Christmas Song," was a crowd favorite, earning them a perfect score of 40 from the judges. When asked about her win, Scarlett couldn't contain her excitement, saying, "This is the ultimate Christmas gift! We had the time of our lives."
But the competition was tough! The line-up included some well-known faces, including comedian Babatunde Aléshé and Nancy Xu, singer Brian McFadden with Michelle Tsiakkas, and Jodie Ounsley (aka Gladiators' Fury) with Neil Jones. All Saints' Melanie Blatt and Kai Widdrington, as well as EastEnders' Nicholas Bailey and Luba Mushtuk, also brought their A-game to the dance floor.
The show opened with a festive group routine, setting the tone for a magical evening. The celebrities and their partners danced to Kelly Clarkson's "Grown Up Christmas List" and "We Need A Little Christmas" from the musical Mame, followed by a closing number to "Happy Holiday / Let Yourself Go" from White Christmas. Even the judges joined in on the fun, with Tess and Claudia's iconic "Keeeeep dancing!" moment marking their final festive show.
So, what do you think? Was the win well-deserved, or did your favorite couple miss out? Share your thoughts in the comments! We'd love to hear your opinions on this year's Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special.
