As we’ve been telling you, whether or not you celebrate Christmas Eve, if you’re a fan of Doctor Who, nerds, and/or The Nerdist, BBC America has given you a reason to celebrate this Christmas Eve. For our viewing pleasure, they are airing Chris Hardwick (aka The Nerdist)-hosted Doctor Who: The Best of the Christmas Specials at 8/7c, followed by The Nerdist: Year in Review. To help us prepare, they’ve posted these lovely videos.
Remember when we told you that BBC America was looking for YouTube video answers to its Doctor Who-related questions, and the best one(s) would be featured in the Best of the Christmas Specials special? There were apparently quite a few submissions (I know, right? We were shocked, too!) so they put together this nice little mashup of some of them for us to enjoy while we wait for the special:

Here’s a press release about that mashup and about the Nerdist Year in Review special:
This winter, BBC America asked Whovians everywhere to answer some Doctor Who holiday questions. We loved your responses so much, that we put together some of our favorites. THANK YOU for all your hard work, fellow Whovians! See who made the final cut during the premiere of the DOCTOR WHO: Best of Christmas Specials, Saturday December 24th at 8/7C.
Celebrate the Yuletide best of Doctors 10 & 11 – David Tennant and Matt Smith – with celebrity fans like The Nerdist’s Chris Hardwick, 30 Rock’s Scott Adsit, Wired Magazine‘s Adam Rogers and Would You Rather…?’s Faith Salie. Plus, Whovians like you, answering Doctor Who holiday questions!
Immediately followed at 9/8c by The Nerdist: Year In Review, where Chris Hardwick and his team of nerd experts review the best of the U.S. and the UK’s top nerd moments, gadgets and superheroes of 2011, and geek-tastic reviews of the year’s best moments from Comic Con and Doctor Who.
