The 2025 Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special has crowned its winners, and it's a festive triumph! In a heartwarming finale, TV star Scarlett Moffatt and professional dancer Vito Coppola danced their way to victory, leaving a lasting impression on the judges and audience alike. But was it a well-deserved win, or did the other celebrity couples have a chance?
This year's special edition was a dazzling display of talent, with all six celebrity couples delivering outstanding performances. Scarlett and Vito's Cha Cha to Cher's DJ Play A Christmas Song was a show-stopper, earning them a perfect score from the judges. But here's where it gets controversial—was it truly the best performance of the night?
The competition was fierce, with comedian Babatunde Aléshé and Nancy Xu, singer Brian McFadden and Michelle Tsiakkas, Jodie Ounsley (Gladiators' Fury) and Neil Jones, Melanie Blatt (All Saints) and Kai Widdrington, and EastEnders' Nicholas Bailey and Luba Mushtuk all bringing their A-game. Each couple had their unique charm and undeniable chemistry, making the judges' decision a challenging one.
The Christmas special kicked off with a joyous group routine to Kelly Clarkson's holiday hits, setting the festive mood. As the show progressed, the couples dazzled with their individual routines, leaving the judges impressed. But the real question is, did the audience agree with the judges' choice?
The final verdict: Scarlett and Vito were declared the winners, and the studio audience's vote played a crucial role in their victory. As Tess and Claudia bid farewell to the Strictly dance floor, the judges joined in for a memorable closing number, leaving fans with a lasting memory of the show's magic.
