ITV blasted for ‘worst decision ever made’ on Christmas Eve

ITV viewers were left disappointed by the broadcaster’s Christmas Eve offerings with complaints the platform has ‘given up’. Christmas Eve was jam-packed with TV offerings with a Christmas Special of Bake Off on Channel 4, a festive special of Gone Fishing on BBC, and a Royal Carol Concert on ITV earlier in the evening.

But as the night continued, many fans were left disappointed as they learned ITV’s evening offering for their prime time evening slot. Rather than showing a Christmas classic movie, ITV opted to show a two-hour special of the best TikToks of the year.
TikTok: Top 100’s synopsis reads: ‘A countdown of the top 100 funniest, most extreme and rudest viral videos of 2024 from TikTok and other social media platforms. Plus, an estimation of how much money the clips made for their creators.’. Fans were less than impressed by this compilation show and took to social media to complain.
‘Tonight ITV are showing TikToks for 2 hours. TV has truly given up!’ said MonopolyPhonic on X. ‘What on earth are ITV doing with this TikTok thing? Is this what Christmas TV has become?!?!’ said ChrisSigsworth. ‘ITV are currently entertaining the masses with a glorified TikTok compilation video from YouTube… yikes,’ said JoshM_Jones.
‘Christmas Eve primetime on ITV is Top 100 TikTok’s 2024 #WeAreFinished,’ said UKRobBoxing. ‘Christmas Eve primetime TV. Worst broadcasting decision ITV have ever made I fear,’ said superTV247. ‘ITV have thrown in the towel with TV, counting down 100 videos on TikTok. Yeah, I have no idea either,’ said OllyVanGaal.
