The 2021 Christmas Radio Times issue cover has been revealed (see it come to life in our animated video further down this page)! There’s plenty of festive programming to look forward to this Christmas season and, as ever, our Christmas double issue is packed full of festive features, reviews and recommendations for all the best Christmas television, streaming, films and radio across its 292 pages.
