Of course, that isn't the biggest Doctor Who event happening on January 1, with a New Year's Day special airing on BBC One starring Jodie Whittaker's Doctor.
It's a bit of a shake-up as the show traditionally airs a special on Christmas Day, though showrunner Chris Chibnall has explained why the move made sense.
"The episode is set on New Year's Day," he confirmed. "There's no better way to start a new year than with Doctor Who."
Chibnall went on: "You want the special to feel like an event... like an opener and a finale all rolled into one.
"You want it to be accessible to those who've missed the series, but you also want to reward the audiences and fans who've been there for the whole ride.
"Most of all, you want it to feel like a treat: a big, thrilling, explosive, moving, cheeky, surprising treat. Basically, you want the special to be epic. And I promise, it's going to be epic."
The Doctor Who New Year's special airs January 1 at 7pm on BBC One.
