It's the North Pole! Who ya gonna call?!

Certainly not the Ghost Busters. The Doctor gets it right when he calls on Santa to help square away whatever festive plot he's engaged in on Christmas Day.

If you watched Doctor Who Season 8 Episode 12, you know Santa already had a thing or two to say to The Doctor about how things ended with Clara.

Will visiting the North Pole have anything to do with mending the strange rift of lies The Doctor and Clara told one another in their attempts to see the other happy?

The very best news is that Santa Claus will be played by Nick Frost who is best known in the US for his movie roles with pal Simon Pegg in Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, Paul and At World's End. What a brilliant surprise!

Get a sneak peek at all of the festive Christmas horror when you watch the clip above.
