Doctor Who Halloween and Christmas Specials for 2025 revealed by Big Finish

August 16, 2025 by Andrew Newton

With Halloween and Christmas looming on the horizon, Big Finish Productions has revealed details of two box sets of Doctor Who audio dramas making their way to Who fans later this year. Each of the sets features four different adventures for the Doctors, companions and other characters.

Coming this October is the Halloween special Doctor Who: Halloween – Sea Smoke and Other Stories. These four adventures see scary mind-infesting creatures, cave monsters, and more for three of the Doctors as well as a Kate Stewart and Osgood adventure. The four spooky Halloween stories are:

  • Sea Smoke – a First Doctor and Dodo adventure by Jonathan Sims
  • Party Favours – a Kate Stewart and Osgood adventure by Georgia Cook
  • Bramble King – an Eighth Doctor and Audacity adventure by Noga Flaishon
  • Merlin’s Trap – a Twelfth Doctor adventure by Hannah Kennedy

The cast of this box set includes Stephen Noonan as the First Doctor, Paul McGann as the Eighth Doctor, Lauren Cornelius as Dodo, Jemma Redgrave as Kate Stewart, Ingrid Oliver as Osgood, and Jaye Griffiths as Audacity.

Later in the year, the Doctor Who: Christmas – It’s a Wonderful War and Other Stories box set will take the time travellers from an English village in 1962 to an asteroid on the edge of a great war. The four festive Christmas tales in this set are:

  • Unholy Night – a Missy adventure by Noga Flaishon
  • Legacy of Blood – a Sixth Doctor and Leela adventure by Julian Richards
  • Presents of Mind – a Smith and Sullivan adventure by Mark Wright
  • It’s a Wonderful War – a Time War-era Eighth Doctor adventure by Jonathan S Powell

This box set features the talents of Colin Baker as the Sixth Doctor, Louise Jameson as Leela, Sadie Miller as Sarah Jane Smith, Christopher Naylor as Harry Sullivan, John Leeson as K9, Paul McGann as the Eighth Doctor, Michelle Gomez as Missy, Annette Badland as Aunt Lavinia, and Nicholas Briggs as the Daleks.
