Doctor Who Christmas & New Year's specials

Ever since the reboot of Doctor Who began in 2005, there's been a Christmas special every year, at least until 2017. There was no special in 2018, and in 2019 there was a New Year's special instead of Christmas. No special in 2020, but more New Year's specials in 2021 and 2022. In 2023, the series went back to a Christmas special.
