Call The Midwife Holiday Special Spoilers
BBC One has outlined a detailed official synopsis for the Holiday Special that reads as follows: “This year’s Christmas Special is set in December 1965. Everyone at Nonnatus House is looking forward to traditional celebrations with all the trimmings, but nothing goes quite to plan. Sister Monica Joan is rushed to the hospital, and Trixie is incensed to receive a subscription to a Marriage Bureau as a Christmas gift. Meanwhile, a surprise reunion for Shelagh involves her in a deeply moving birth, and the Circus arrives in Poplar, bringing new friendships, new experiences, and an exciting adventure for Nurse Crane.”
This 90-minute special episode is packed with the festive spirit, tears, emotions, and heartfelt warmth. Filmed under the strangest circumstances, the episode also marks the return of an earlier character, Gloria Venables. And from whatever we can gauge from the teasers making the rounds, the story is set to bring in the waterworks. So remember to keep your tissues handy! Check out what star Stephen McGann had to say about the episode:

Lord, it is SO GOOD to be back. Can’t wait for you to see this. xx
