Top Of The Pops is as much part of Christmas Day as turkey and unwrapping gifts in the UK.

After a big publicity stunt last year by The Sun it was brought back for it’s annual Christmas Day special after it’s weekly show got the axe after 40 odd years.

A host of top stars including Robbie Williams, Dizzee Rascal and JLS are set to appear in this year’s Top Of The Pops Christmas and New Year Specials.

BBC Radio 1′s Fearne Cotton and Reggie Yates will present the two special shows which will be shown on BBC One on Christmas Day and New Year’s Eve.

Top Of The Pops Christmas Day Special offers up an hour of stellar performances from some of the year’s biggest stars including Dizzee Rascal; Kasabian; Lily Allen; JLS; Alexandra Burke; La Roux; Sugababes; Florence and the Machine; Diversity; and Muse. The hour of top music and festive fun culminates in a glistening performance from this year’s Christmas number 1!

Then, on New Year’s Eve (31 December, 6.30-7.30pm), Fearne and Reggie are back on BBC One with the Top Of The Pops New Year Special to review the year in pop, taking in 2009′s greatest hits and brightest stars.
