BBC One is celebrating Christmas with “Top of the Pops 2: Christmas” Dec. 22. The program will be available to FilmOn users through the service’s BBC One channel – the channel’s line up can read on FilmOn’s live TV guide.

“Top of the Pops 2 Christmas” features tons of festive songs from some of Britain’s favorite national entertainers as well as a few international ones. Here’s more about the program.

“Mark Radcliffe returns with another Christmas edition of Top of the Pops 2, delivering a feast of festive delights direct from the BBC vaults. Trawled from the depths of the BBC archive, there are Christmastide gems from Britpop heroes Blur, Chrissie Hynde with The Pretenders, some kilt-clad Bluebells and a demure and festive performance from Katie Melua, not to mention a classic rendition of Baby It’s Cold Outside from Welsh compatriots Cerys Matthews and Sir Tom Jones. Macca also makes a welcome return to the TOTP 2 Christmas celebration and, while you surround yourself with paper, bows and bits of tape, let the inimitable Kurtis Blow provide the soundtrack with his unique take on Christmas rappin’. Plus perennial yuletide favourites from the likes of Slade, Wham! Roy Wood, East 17 and Mud, and some rarely seen footage from comeback queen Kate Bush. The Jackson 5 and Johnny Mathis also pop up.”
