Ted Lasso and Game of Thrones star Hannah Waddingham is fronting her very own Apple TV+ special this year.

Titled Hannah Waddingham: Home for Christmas and recorded in front of a London Coliseum crowd, it's reported by The Wrap that she'll not only welcome a whole stocking's worth of surprise guests, but also cover a few Christmas classics.

Let's hope that includes the Bing Crosby hit!

Meanwhile, the Septa Unella actress previously confirmed she'd taken home her character's bell prop from season 5 finale 'Mother's Mercy'.

"That's when you know your character is really dead... when they give you the hero thing. 'And thank you very much and goodbye,'" Waddingham said on The Kelly Clarkson Show.

Opening up about her experience in the brutal and bloody lands of Westeros, she singled out Unella's waterboarding at the hands of Cersei Lannister as a day she'd like never to repeat.

"Other than childbirth, it was the worst day of my life," said the star. "Lena [Headey, who played Cersei] was uncomfortable pouring liquid in my face for that long, and I was beside myself.

"But in those moments you have to think, do you serve the piece and get on with it or do you chicken out and go, 'No, this isn't what I signed up for, blah, blah, blah?'"

This came after Thrones bosses scrapped a scene where The Mountain raped her character.

Game of Thrones seasons 1-8 are available on DVD and Blu-ray. House of the Dragon airs on HBO in the US, and on Sky Atlantic and NOW in the UK.
