00:00 We've just been giving such killer vocals all night.
00:02 I'm worried that we're going to melt the audience's faces off.
00:06 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:08 Merry Christmas, everybody.
00:11 Feel very overdressed, mate.
00:14 Oh my god, one of my best friends
00:15 has got a Christmas special.
00:17 [LAUGHS]
00:17 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:21 Hey, guys.
00:22 Hannah Waddingham calling.
00:23 I am here at the glorious London Coliseum
00:26 to record my Christmas special.
00:29 Hannah Waddingham, "Home for Christmas" on Apple TV+.
00:32 Miss Waddingham to stage, please.
00:34 Why are singing carols right outside my door?
00:40 All these things and more, baby.
00:43 All these things and more, my baby.
00:45 That's what Christmas means to me, my love.
00:48 That's what Christmas means to me, my love.
00:51 The London Coliseum has been my home
00:53 since I was eight years old.
00:55 My mom started in the chorus here.
00:57 It has always held such a place in my heart.
00:59 And now I'm fronting my own show here.
01:02 What I would have given to do this show
01:04 in a pair of Birkenstocks.
01:06 [LAUGHTER]
01:08 Look.
01:09 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:14 I was so excited to get the most glorious people involved.
01:18 It's amazing to be part of this family.
01:20 It's so cool.
01:20 And Christmas is all of our family, right?
01:22 Wadders, we're all here because we love you.
01:24 And we think you're amazing.
01:26 A lot of Christmas elves running around just sprinkling
01:28 their Christmas magic.
01:30 It's quite mad.
01:31 There's a lot going on.
01:32 Lots of kind of choreography and flying rehearsals.
01:35 This is a lifelong dream for her.
01:36 And I couldn't be more proud of this woman.
01:38 And I can't believe she asked me to be a part of it.
01:41 I'm your Christmas miracle.
01:42 [SCREAMING]
01:43 Shh.
01:45 I have a beautiful mixture of friends.
