Additionally, ITV1 will broadcast Take That: The Circus Live, which includes footage from their Wembley performance earlier this year.
Peter Fincham said of the schedule: "ITV1 has had a phenomenal Autumn, with our biggest hits such as The X Factor, I'm A Celebrity..., Harry Hill’s TV Burp and Doc Martin attracting bigger audiences than ever.
"Our Christmas schedule has the same wide appeal, with big entertainment and factual specials, some much anticipated new drama and comedy one-offs - alongside all that you’d expect from ITV1 in soaps and films over the festive period."
Other highlights include A Night Of Heroes, Far From Home and Xtra Factor - The Winner's Story, which will transmit on ITV2.
