The TARDIS is as much a part of Christmas as turkey, mince pies, and mulled wine, and former "Doctor Who" showrunner Steven Moffat certainly knows his way around a festive adventure. This year's holiday offering, "Joy to the World", is the writer's ninth, and it comes with all the trimmings you'd expect.
Alongside the obligatory festive moments, Moffat (the brains behind "Blink", "The Girl in the Fireplace" and "Heaven Sent") brings his trademark clockwork plotting to the holiday party. In "Joy to the World", the Doctor spends Christmas in the company of the titular Joy ("Bridgerton"'s Nicola Coughlan), as the duo have an eventful stay in a hotel that provides a gateway to the most exciting destinations in history — and stumble on a sinister plot instigated by an evil corporation.
