‘Ted Lasso’ Star Hannah Waddingham Celebrates Her “Favorite Time Of Year” In Upcoming Apple TV+ Special ‘Hannah Waddingham: Home For Christmas’

Fans can ring in (and sing in) the spirit of the season with Hannah Waddingham in her upcoming merry and musical holiday special.

Filmed in front of a live audience at the London Coliseum, Hannah Waddingham: Home For Christmas will be released globally on Apple TV+ Wednesday, Nov. 22. The streaming provider first announced its release in April, promising that it “will deliver a captivating night to remember, featuring dazzling performances and musical numbers,” as well as welcome “special surprise guests” to the stage.

According to a press release shared Tuesday (Oct. 17), the “musical extravaganza” grants “audiences around the world” the chance to join Waddingham “in celebrating her favorite time of year on Apple TV+ as she performs festive classics accompanied by a spectacular big band.”

The special is produced by Done + Dusted (who produced Mariah Carey’s Magical Christmas Special in 2022) and directed by BAFTA award-winner Hamish Hamilton.

Fans of Waddingham in Ted Lasso may remember the Apple TV+ holiday short released in 2021, Ted Lasso — The Missing Christmas Mustache, in which she and the cast reunited for a stop-motion take on the Emmy-winning Apple TV+ series.

Since she wrapped up her time as Rebecca Welton on Ted Lasso — which released its Season 3 finale on May 31 — Waddingham began voicing the goddess Deliria in the new FOX cartoon Krapopolis, created by Rick and Morty showrunner Dan Harmon.

However, amid the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike, Waddingham “respectfully stepped down” from hosting BBC’s “Fantasy, Myths and Legends” Proms in August. She was replaced by BBC Radio 3 presenter Katie Derham and Radio 1 film critic Ali Plumb, per BBC.

Hannah Waddingham: Home For Christmas will be released on Apple TV+ worldwide on Nov. 22. Plans cost $6.99/month.
