Britain’s largest family are set to star in a one-off Christmas special of their hit Channel 5 series, 22 Kids and Counting.

The Radford family, who live in Morecambe, made the episode announcement yesterday (13 December) by posting a picture to their Instagram page.

They announced that 22 Kids and Counting at Christmas will air this Sunday (19 December).

They wrote: “Only six more sleeps until 22 Kids And Counting At Christmas”.

The family-of-22 will embark on a festive adventure in the episode meeting Santa, meeting reindeers in Finland and much more.

Noel and Sue are determined to provide the perfect Christmas for Britain’s Biggest Family – the right size turkey, the right toys, the big tree and all the trimmings, but this year they find themselves on a series of wild goose chases because everyone is chasing a reduced supply of Christmas goodies.

But when Noel and Sue - can’t deliver the perfect Christmas they don’t give up, instead they gather up the kids and head north on the ultimate yuletide getaway to Lapland.

In this Christmas Special, the Radford’s ride across the snowfields of Finland on a reindeer sleigh, have a go driving snowmobiles and check out the wonder of the Northern Lights before the kids get a chance to meet the man himself, Santa.

Sue, Noel, and the family know how lucky they are and that’s why back in Morecambe the older kids have decided to give something back to the community by giving up their time to serve Christmas dinner at a local homeless shelter.

Fans of the family are excited about the Christmas special and have taken to social media to comment on the announcement.
