Watch The Great Peep Show Christmas Bake Off: Synopsis
Unlike cauliflower on Christmas Day, watching Bake Off during the holidays IS traditional. And devotes of cult sitcom Peep Show (2003-2015), Channel 4’s longest running comedy, are in for Santa-sized belly laughs as its cast enter the white tent to whisk, beat, and sieve their way to “Star Baker” glory. Catch the ho, ho, hilarious special with our guide below, outlining how to watch The Great Peep Show Christmas Bake Off online from anywhere – and 100% free!
The festive episode reunites the show's cast for the very first time since it ended in 2015. That includes David Mitchell, a.k.a. socially awkward loan manager Mark Corrigan, Isy Suttie, who played IT grunt Dobby, Matt King as fan favorite Super Hans, and Sophie Winkleman, who starred as Jez’s posh ex-partner Big Suze.
And how could we forget Olivia Colman? Thrillingly, the Academy Award and Emmy-winning star of The Favorite and The Crown will join her former co-stars in attempting seasonal takes on the signature, technical, and showstopper challenges. Now a Hollywood star, she first rose to public attention portraying Sophie, Mark’s long-suffering JLB colleague and – very briefly – his wife.
As ever, hosts Noel (Noël!) and Alison will fan the flames of merry mayhem, boosting morale as our contestants face all manner of kitchen mishaps (a sneak peek shows David go on a very on-brand rant about sieves). But what potentially inedible, Peep Show-inspired creations might they pull out of the ovens for Prue and Paul to sample. Methadone-fed figgy pudding? Barbequed dog yule log? We can’t wait to find out!
Serve up a delightful dish of Christmas Day chaos. Simply read our guide below for everything to know about how to watch The Great Peep Show Christmas Bake Off online and from anywhere with a VPN.

Can I watch The Great Peep Show Christmas Bake Off online in the US?

Yup, Kris Kringle sure takes his time getting to the Americas! So while the 2024 Christmas and NY episodes have just been uploaded, it'll be another full rotation of the sun before The Great Peep Show Christmas Bake Show is available Stateside.

Why Isn’t Robert Webb In The Great Peep Show Christmas Bake Off?
Ah, humbug! To our dismay Robert Webb, who played Mark’s self-centred best friend Jeremy ‘Jez’ Usbourne, won't feature in this Bake Off special. The actor himself explained that he had prior commitments to his CBBC show High Hoops, which sees him play stern headmaster Mr Holt, and that he couldn’t justify asking for the three days away required to film The Great Peep Show Christmas Bake Off.
