Doctor Who is returning to TV screens this Christmas, with Matt Smith and new companion Jenna-Louise Coleman starring in the traditional festive-themed installment.

Written by Steven Moffat and directed by Saul Metzstein, the episode will be broadcast on December 25 and entitled The Snowmen.

And this morning the BBC released plot and a poster.

Christmas Eve 1892 and the falling snow is the stuff of fairy-tales. When the fairy-tale becomes a nightmare and a chilling menace threatens Earth, an unorthodox young governess, Clara, calls on the Doctor for help. But the Doctor is in mourning, reclusive and determined not to engage in the problems of the universe. As old friends return, will the Doctor really abandon humankind or will he fight to save the world – and Christmas – from the icy clutches of this mysterious menace.

And here are the Christmas Special trailers... and a prequel!
