The family favourite show will also be returning for four episodes in 2023 as creator Brendan O'Carroll, 67, who stars as Agnes Brown, explained how filming was delayed due to a Covid backlog. According to Brendan, the BBC was "adamant" that they would get four episodes and started to book out studios for 2023 so they could kick start filming again.
After the pandemic, there was a rush to book venues for shows to film - which meant some programmes had to put things on hold.
Speaking about how the show has become a tradition for many families at Christmas time, he said he gets "goosebumps" just thinking about it.
Speaking to The Sun 's TV magazine, he said: "I absolutely love it - I get goosebumps that Mrs Brown has become part of Christmas."
"That's what people who come to the show say - 'Ah, it wouldn't be Christmas without Mrs Brown'. You're kinda going 'Oh my God, we established that'".
He said that when he was younger it was always Morecambe and Wise that would be on the TV at Christmas.
A second 2022 special will be aired on New Year's Day at 10pm, called "Mammy's Hair Loom".
The synopsis explains: "Suspicion surrounds Cathy's creepy boyfriend, Boris.
