Victorian Farm Christmas (Acorn TV, 3:01 a.m.):
Victorian Farm was a big hit in the U.K. when it first arrived more than a decade ago, and this shorter Christmas-themed series is the result of that popularity. Historian Ruth Goodman and archaeologists Alex Langlands and Peter Ginn return to the Shropshire estate of the original to “tackle an array of new farming tasks; to explore life in the wider working countryside; and discover in depth how the Victorians created the celebration of Christmas as we know it today from greeting cards and Christmas carols to the rich array of festive food they put on the table.”
