The Outnumbered actress was recently spotted filming on the sci-fi drama's set in Wales.
Her role in the festive instalment, which has been penned by Who showrunner Steven Moffat, is currently unclear.
Some sources, including Wales Online, mistakenly identified Skinner as Shameless star Maxine Peake, due to the facial similarity between the two.
However, a source has confirmed to Digital Spy that it is in fact Skinner who will appear in the Christmas special.
In addition to playing Sue on BBC One's Outnumbered, Skinner has featured in episodes of Lark Rise to Candleford and Marple.
Her film credits include 1999's Sleepy Hollow and 2001's Bridget Jones's Diary.
The Doctor Who Christmas special will be broadcast in late December on BBC One, with a December 25 airdate likely but unconfirmed.
