Victoria Christmas Special spoilers: More details on what’s ahead via ITV

Jenna Coleman

Can you believe that the Victoria Christmas Special is almost here? It’s the most wonderful time of the year, but it’s also going to be a tough one for the Queen. She’s set to become a mother yet again during this time and while that may be wonderful in some ways, it does pose some other challenges. She doesn’t have Baroness Lehzen at her side anymore. Beyond that, she also has to try to reconcile some of her own emotions with the fact that her husband Albert is happy and embracing the holiday. This is not going to be an easy thing for her to do, but given everything she’ll have gone through by this point we have a good feeling that she will figure out the right way to move forward.

As one of the last previews that we have for the Victoria Christmas Special, we suggest that you take a look at the official ITV synopsis below:

Set in Christmas 1846, the episode sees Victoria uncharacteristically melancholy as she prepares to tackle her first Christmas without her beloved Baroness Lehzen. Pregnant with her and Albert’s fourth child, the festive period reminds her of her lonely childhood spent at Kensington. Albert, on the other hand is gripped by an obsession with staging the perfect family Christmas, transforming the palace into a magical festive wonderland. Tensions arise between him and Victoria, however, when Albert invites some unwelcome house guests to join the celebrations.

The best way to think about the Victoria Christmas Special is almost as a bridge between the show’s past and the future. It’s not completely tied to the second season of the show, and at the same time it’s not really a part of any apparent season 4 story. There could be another time jump before that point. This episode seems mostly designed for the sake of providing a small snapshot into the lives of two very important people at a crucial moment in their history. Victoria is still learning how to be the best Queen, the best wife, the most mother, and the best ambassador to Britain. It is hard to imagine that she will ever stop learning.
