Guz Khan is heading to Lapland—and deep into holiday chaos—in Stuffed, a one-off Christmas special set to land on BBC One and BBC iPlayer this December.
Produced by Baby Cow in partnership with Khan’s own Dice Roll Productions, the hour-long comedy casts the Man Like Mobeen star as Arslan Farooqi, a Coventry office worker who finds himself at the centre of a festive mess after receiving an £8,000 bonus that wasn’t meant for him. With his family already en route to a winter wonderland getaway, Arslan scrambles to undo the damage before HR comes knocking.
Morgana Robinson plays Arslan’s wife Hannah, alongside Theo Barklem-Biggs as his brother-in-law Jamie, and Sue Johnston as a new ally who may just help steer the family out of trouble. What starts as a dream trip quickly unravels into a snowy scramble to save Arslan’s job, their holiday, and a whole lot more.
The special was written by Andy Milligan, who nods to classic ensemble-driven holiday chaos à la National Lampoon’s Vacation. Dave Lambert directs, with Mollie Freedman Berthoud producing.
Stuffed also marks another move by the BBC to lean into star-driven holiday programming that plays across generations. Khan serves as executive producer through Dice Roll, continuing a busy stretch following his stand-up tour and return to scripted work. International distribution is being handled by BBC Studios.
Commissioned by Jon Petrie, the BBC’s Director of Comedy, Stuffed is positioned as a core piece of the broadcaster’s Christmas 2025 lineup. It’s a comedy built for co-viewing, with a mix of family dynamics, misadventure, and one very expensive mistake.
