The last time viewers had a proper series of Mrs Brown’s Boys was in 2013, but special episodes of the sitcom are often aired to celebrate holidays like Halloween and Christmas.
And fans of the comedy series can look forward to its return as a major part of the Christmas TV line-up.
Earlier this year, a Halloween special for Mrs Brown’s Boys, which saw Mrs Brown’s late husband haunting her, was released. This special which was a live event also marked the 10th anniversary of the series.
But with Halloween done and the countdown for Christmas on, the series returns with not one but two episodes to make the holiday season even more special.

A teaser for the Christmas special has introduced a new relative who will appear across the two special episodes.
The new character Mikey is set to cause some trouble in the family as they try to warn Granddad (Dermot O’Neill) of the new shady relative's bad intentions.
The first episode titled Mammy’s Mechanical Merriment, will see Agnes Brown ( Brendan O’Carroll ) become a new member of the church choir in Finglas.
Elsewhere, Buster (Danny O’Carroll) is forced to get creative due to a Christmas tree shortage while Dermot hosts a Murder Mystery night in aid of alcoholic greyhounds.
Creator Brendan also appeared alongside Jennifer Gibney on This Morning to tease the New Year's special
Speaking of the plot, Brendan explained: ''They all thought he (Mikey) was in prison for life, he's a conman; but he gets out of prison and he's coming over from Liverpool to see Grandad."
He added that Mikey is actually there to con Granddad out of five grand and that Agnes does her best during the episode to try and stop him.
