The new clip gives a tour through the fictional veterinary surgery, showing the lit-up Christmas tree as well as hanging decorations placed throughout the house. At the end of the video the phone rings, prompting James, who is asleep, to open his eyes and get out of bed while wearing a confused look on his face.

Fans in the US took to the comments section to express their disappointment at having to wait until next year to watch the special. One person wrote: "So sad we can't see it in the US. Pity we have to wait to see the Christmas special closer to Easter time. I know it will be brilliant, we'll just need to be patient," while another added: "I guess we’ll have to wait until after Christmas in the US. This is such a cute show!!!"

While Brits will be able to view the upcoming episode at 9pm on Christmas Eve, fans across the pond won't see it until 2022. The second series of the show begins on PBS on January 9 next year, meaning the Christmas special won't be available until towards the beginning of March.

The decorations, the tree, Jess asleep and the snow falling outside."

A third person commented: "This will be the highlight of Christmas, can’t wait. It looks beautiful."
