24 comedians have been picked to make a short festive film each for the Dave channel, in order to create a virtual advent calendar.
The daily comedy shorts will count down the days in December till Christmas, and feature the likes of Sally Phillips, Kerry Godliman, Natasia Demetriou, Nina Conti, Beattie Edmondson, Sofie Hagen, Kerry Howard, Cariad Lloyd, Zoe Lyons and Rachel Parris. 
The two-minute clips will be broadcast at 21:00 daily, ending on Christmas Eve with a unique version of Ding Dong Merrily On High. Why did they decide to rewrite a hit? We don’t know.
Commissioning editor Joe McVey said: “I’m really pleased to say that this year Dave is offering up an advent calendar with 24 actual human people lurking behind the doors. It’s so much better than the ones with chocolate or the ones with … pictures of snow people. Unless you really like chocolate.’”
Executive producer and director Steve Wynne said: “Dave’s Advent Calendar includes a nativity scene made of sushi, a vicar being shouted at, and a fist up a turkey. Merry Christmas.”
