Hannah Waddingham: Home for Christmas

This is THE best Christmas music TV special of all time. Usually they are totally cringeworthy, awkward, and odd. Not this one! Hannah Waddingham is an outstanding singer and entertainer, bringing on her friends and colleagues from her decades of entertaining on the West End and Broadway, along with the Gay Men's Choir, English National Opera Chorus, the cast of Ted Lasso, Game of Thrones, and more. Honestly - this is the best Christmas music show out there. Feel all Christmassy and warm and fussy inside from watching. She is a national treasure and I have no idea why she hasn't been on our TVs for the past 20 years. At least we have her now. Thank you to whoever produced this. Can we have this every year, please!

Hannah Waddingham's been a prominent entertainer for over a decade, both in song and acting. One of her notable roles has been on "Ted Lasso", although I haven't seen it; she also co-starred on the Netflix series "Sex Education". Here she hosts a yuletide extravaganza in the London Coliseum, with the Gay Men's Chorus participating. "Hannah Waddingham: Home for Christmas" features her performing with a number of people, with all sorts of tricks. Every part of this 44-minute special is the perfect balance of camp and Christmas cheer. I hope Hannah Waddingham does more of these things. She is one fine gal!

This has been by far the most wonderful Christmas music special, that I have ever seen. I simply adore Hannah Waddingham as the amazing, actress, singer and multi-talent that she is. She deserves to be the spearhead of a generation of strong women in acting and this special only highlights her impressive abilities, as a multi-talent. Her voice is wonderful and her Christmas album that accompanies this show, is also highly recommended. And to be honest, while the Ted Lasso Crew was nice to see - I didn't need them, she is the shining light and may her light continue to shine and this be repeated. Thanks for almost 50 minutes of joy, happiness and awe.

This Christmas special is very retro fun. It reminded me of Christmas specials of Christmas Pasts with big band music, special guests, costume changes and every guest looking like they are having genuinely good time. Hannah has real honest to goodness talent seeping from every pore of her gorgeous self. A very heartfelt moment came with meeting her parents and daughter in which she dedicated a song to them. Truly beautiful moment and song. We also got to see the gang from Ted Lasso have fun with some genuine laughs at their expense as well as the London Gay Men's Choir. I genuinely enjoyed watching it - and was so happy with the way she ended the show. I plan to watch it a few more times. Well done, everyone!

I love Hannah Waddingham, I genuinely do. She is a great actress and a wonderful singer, she also seems very nice. So what's the problem then?. The problem is, this is one great gay fest, which is completely obsessive and all the shmaltzy songs and sets are not for straight people. Even her choice of attire is over the top and i feel so sorry for her as this vehicle to show off her singing talents does more harm than good. They even had the cast of Ted Lasso embarrass themselves with their so called comedic turns, and the bad boy of Ted Lasso Phil Dunster, although he proved he could hold a tune, I'm sure the ladies out there will have been disappointed with his effeminate actions.

What a delightful 45 minutes spent with Hannah Waddingham and her guests. It's a deeply personal and all around lovely performance. Several special guests and of course the Ted Lasso crew. Some funny moments and some sentimental ones as well. She is a talented singer like her family before her. What's most enjoyable however is her enthusiasm for the evening and the experience of sharing it with her friends and family. It's just the fun and joyful show we need this season. I hope she does a few more of these over the years to come. I may have to watch this again on Christmas Eve with the family. Sit back with the family and enjoy.

I love Hannah and only came to know her on Ted Lasso so I had a feeling her special would be awesome. I enjoyed all the cameos and that her own family was there was sweet. I was bummed about one thing but the ending made me extremely happy .. as that one bummer thing unhappened. She is lovely and it's nice to see a full figured woman with curves verses the skinny women out there now. She sings wonderfully and this was a nice special to get my Christmas season started. And don't forget poor Nick Mohammed who was Nathan in Ted Lasso left hangin from the rafters..perfect. Thanks for the lovely afternoon on my rainy dreary day becoming a little brighter.

This is a fun Christmas variety show that will appeal to fans of Ted Lasso, and of variety shows in general. Hannah Waddingham serves as the host of this special, To nobody's surprise, she is quite an amazing singer, and belts out many Christmas standards, both old and new. While Waddingham is excellent, and is paired well with special guests including but not limited to special guests like Leslie Odom Jr. And Luke Evans, it falls flat when it comes to everything else. Instead of being Waddington's show, it feels more like a Ted Lasso reunion. Almost every major character from Ted Lasso makes an appearance. While I am not opposed to cast reunions, the fact that Ted Lasso only recently ended its run, made the cast's appearance distracting, to me and took away from her performance, when in reality, it should have been Waddington's show. That said, this is still a very fun variety show that will appeal to all ages.

This is a well done, beautiful Christmas variety show. Hannah Waddingham is a wonderful singer, with a beautiful voice. This variety show will remind you of similar shows from the 1960's and 1970's, with new fun twists on old Christmas songs. The live orchestra backing up Hannah Waddingham will remind you of a 30's/40's Big Band, or even old Lawrence Welk shows. Do not get me wrong, this is not kitschy or made just for old folks. This is a beautiful, modern production. Take the time to watch it and enjoy, for Christmas. (I do have one question- what's with the upside down star, on stage left? ) Merry Christmas!
