Ore Olukoga 10.00-14.00 on 27th December.
Gregor Davidson 14.00-18.00 on 28th December.
Joel Mitchell 10.00-14.00 on 29th December, 12.00-16.00 on 30th/31st December.
James Cusack 19.00-22.00 on 31st December.
Nat O'Leary 12.00-16.00 on 1st January.

I mean it’s only been a couple of frequent days recently but it much feels that it has been the indie show that has been more vacated especially when Jack was covering Clara this summer on future sounds. 

Charlie Tee is seeing in the New Year this time, 10pm-1am on 31st Dec.

Gregor Davidson is in for Jack on Friday 1st December.
Jordan is solo on Wednesday 6th December.
James Cusack is in for Jack on Friday 8th December.

1st-2nd December
1pm-4pm: No Matt Edmondson so Jamie Lang joins Mollie King
3rd December
1pm-4pm: Matt Edmondson is solo. 

Maybe top 50?

Argh! Not anthems!!! I was hoping this year it would be different. I literally cannot stand basically a whole week of anthems, it's lazy and boring. I guess I won't be listening for a 5th year straight, unfortunately.

It to be very good addition to the stations schedule over the festive period especially when it was rare that you would have repeated tracks of repeated in the chart from previous years.

I think that'll be a strong show, I can't remember hearing a chart of the year before on Radio 1, but perhaps there was before my time!

Think that Lifehacks will have a fortnight rest over Christmas and will return on the first sunday of January. They could easily keep 00s and 10s shows if they wanted to theme them around the Christmas songs of the two decades playlist Justin Bieber, Sia and Michael Bublé for the 10s Darkness for the 00s sure they can think of some others.

It kind of feels lik they could end up getting a pool of the best of the future generation presenters over the past few years for the Christmas season. Assume that waiting to announce specials can imagine that in the next week that announcements will start to see some of the tv and radio highlights starting to be announced for the special Christmas new year stuff

Christmas Eve
1pm-4pm: Ore Olukoga in for Matt & Mollie
Christmas Day
TBA
26th-27th December (Likely 28th as well)
Radio 1 Anthems from 6am-6pm (I imagine each presenter will get a four hour slot so three presenters per day)
6pm-8pm: Nels Hylton in for Clara
8pm-10pm: Maia Beth in for Jack

23rd December
1pm-4pm: Ore Olukoga in for Matt & Mollie
4pm-7pm: Connor Coates in for Charlie Hedges
25th December
8am-11am: Jordan North
11am-10pm: TBA (11am-6pm listed as Christmas On Radio 1, 6pm-10pm is TBA, 11am slot is 2 hours which may suggest another live show?)
26th December
11pm-1am: Martha in for Annie Nightingale
27th December
11pm-1am: Mo Ayoub in for Benji B

Matt and Moll are in for Greg Monday 18th November 

Sam & Danni are in for Arielle Monday 27th to Thursday 30th November.

He was great yesterday

Ore in for Matt & Mollie 23rd & 24th.
Connor Coates in for Charlie 23rd.
Jordan on Xmas Day breakfast - probs 08.00-11.00 and prob the only live show that day.
26th-29th shows maybe run 06.00-10.00, 10.00-14.00 and 14.00-18.00 as they have done in the past.  Prob Anthems?  James Cusack to feature.
30th-1st shows maybe run 08.00-12.00, 12.00-16.00.  31st Charlie Tee 22.00-01.00 ???  1st R1 Happy or R1 Relax all day?
2nd-4th RMC, Dean & Vicky or V&J off, with daytime shows lengthened to fill the gap, maybe 07.00-11.00, 11.00-15.00, 15.00-18.00.

I reckon if Jack is on air over Christmas he will be on daytime duties.
Also if Katie is on-air I'd say she will be paired with Jordan on breakfast.
Nat O'Leary is a good bet to be on-air quite a bit.

Yeah James is getting lots of air time with different shows. He was great both paired with Mollie for the weekend and the other Friday by himself. He's on the chart in for Jack this week, heard Vick mention him on Sundays first look show.

This is what I think it'll be:
 
Christmas Day
0500-0700 Sam and Danni / Ore
0700-1000 Jordan North
1000-1300 Greg James
1300-1600 Katie Thistleton
1600-1900 Best of Going Home
 
Boxing Day to the 29th
0500-0700 Sam and Danni / Ore
0700-1030 Jordan North
1030-1300 Katie Thisleton
1300-1530 James Cusack
1530-1800 Sam and Danni
1800-2000 Jack Saunders

1300-1600 James Cusack
1600-1900 Arielle Free
1900-2200 Charlie Tee
2200-0100 Jordan North
 
New Years Day
0700-1000 Ore
1030-1300 Nat O'Leary
1300-1600 RMC best of live lounge pre recorded
1600-1900 Greg best of year, pre recorded

I'm not sure about the whole schedule but here are a few suggestions.
 
Christmas day
0700-1030 Jordan North
then perhaps Dean and Vicky special show and Christmas takeover
 
December 26-29
0500-0700 Ore
0700-1030 Matt and Mollie or just Matt
1030-1300 RMC (in some configuration)
1300-1530 Sam and Danni
1530-1800 Jack
1800-2000 Arielle (someone from R1 dance line up on Friday)
 
December 30-31
I believe quite normal, maybe James Cusack in for Matt and Mollie. Jordan will do New Year's Eve.
 
January 1
Radio 1 Chill

CassKidd is in for Sian on Sunday 5th November.
Arielle is in for Sarah on Friday 17th November.

Yep totally agree and used to love predicting christmas line ups years ago. Would love to hear more of the likes of Ore,James,Nat and Sam and Danni over the festive period

I think Jordan doing Christmas Day is a certain. Him doing Christmas limbo week seems a bit of a waste though as take him off elsewhere in the year. I’d imagine because of the dates Greg will have 2 weeks off (first week of Jan is my bet) so Matt/Jordan should get that week.
Christmas limbo week should be the likes of Arielle in daylight,  Sam & Danni, Ore and Nat 

This would be a strong Christmas lineup for 2 key shows on the schedule and the country does seem to get back to some kind of normality from the 27th through till NYE.
