Shortly before Christmas, RTL has a very special gift ready for all "Let's Dance" fans: "The Big Christmas Show" can be seen on December 23 at 8:15 p.m. (also on RTL). The broadcaster announced this on Thursday. In the special for the festival, five celebrities from previous seasons compete against each other with professional dancers. All participants want to win the title "Christmas Dancing Star".

The dancing couples are already fixed. Rúrik Gíslason (34) fights for the title with Malika Dzumaev (31). Lili Paul-Roncalli (24) dances with Massimo Sinató (41), while Mathias Mester (36) floats over the floor with Renata Lusin (35). Janin Ullmann (40) competes with Zsolt Sándor Cseke (34), René Casselly (26) takes part with Kathrin Menzinger (34).

The audience favorites from the past season, Bastian Bielendorfer (38) and Ekaterina Leonova (35), support the two moderators Daniel Hartwich (44) and Victoria Swarovski (29) on the floor. As usual, the dance couples will be judged by a jury. This consists of the well-known faces Motsi Mabuse (41), Joachim Llambi (58) and Jorge González (55). What exactly will be performed to which songs is not yet known.
