Christmas Night with the Stars was a variety television show broadcast each Christmas night by the BBC from 1958 to 1972 and also in 1994^[1]. The show featured the top stars of the BBC as they appeared in short versions of their programmes, typically five to ten minutes long. The show was voted 24th in the Channel 4 100 Greatest Christmas Moments.^[2]Sadly most of the variety segments no longer exist as they were wiped after either their first broadcast or their once a year rerun.

In 1982 the BBC ran a similarly-formatted special titled The Funny Side of Christmas.

In December 2004 the BBC did a one off special hosted by Sir Michael Parkinson.
