Christmas Eve 2025 will bring a mix of laughter, action, and festive cheer to German TV screens. Viewers can enjoy classic films like Die Hard and Home Alone, while a special cooking show with Bargain Hunt stars adds a cosy touch. A new comedy, Same Time Next Year, also joins the lineup with a holiday-themed road trip.
The evening kicks off with Same Time Next Year, a fresh comedy following a chaotic bus ride from Berlin to Bavaria on December 23rd. Passengers, including multiple Santa Clauses, face mishaps like a lost engagement ring as they travel through the night.
Later, *Die Hard* returns with its iconic Christmas Eve setting. John McClane, a New York cop, battles armed criminals in a Los Angeles skyscraper while trying to save hostages. The action-packed thriller remains a holiday favourite despite its explosive plot. At 8:15 PM on VOX, *Sister Act – Eine himmlische Karriere* takes the spotlight. The comedy follows a lounge singer hiding in a convent after witnessing a crime. Her arrival transforms the struggling choir into a lively musical force. Meanwhile, *Bargain Hunt* host Horst Lichter and his friends gather for a festive cooking session. As they prepare a Christmas meal, they share personal traditions and memories from the past year. Finally, *Home Alone* brings family-friendly fun. The story of young Kevin, accidentally left behind during the holidays, continues to charm audiences with its mix of slapstick humour and heartwarming moments.
The 2025 Christmas Eve schedule blends humour, action, and nostalgia. Films like Die Hard and Home Alone return as seasonal staples, while Same Time Next Year offers a new take on holiday travel. The cooking special with Bargain Hunt adds a personal touch, ensuring a varied lineup for all tastes. Each programme brings its own festive twist to the night’s entertainment.
