Live From Mars will be one of five lectures from Dr Monica Grady of the Natural History Museum and will be devoted to the Beagle 2, Europe's first probe to Mars, due to land on Christmas Day.
Alex James of Blur will provide music for the programme, having composed a 'Mars' track to accompany the probe on its journey.
Other programmes planned for the Christmas period include three animated Oscar Wilde tales as well as Hallmark's Jack and the Beanstalk: The Real Story.
Other broadcasters are expected to reveal details of their festive lineups in the next few weeks.
