The British Christmas TV mainstay is back and delivering the second of two Christmas episodes this Christmas season, and this time there’s a storm brewing. Keep reading as we explain how look at Mrs Brown’s boys New Year’s special 2026 online from anywhere and potentially FREE.
Delighting (and horrifying) British TV audiences, Mrs Brown’s boys has been part of the Beeb’s festive schedule for nearly fifteen years, and with the show now back to airing semi-regular mini-seasons, it shows no signs of slowing down.
After struggling to argue with the gang over a festive photo in the Christmas special, this time Agnes (Brendan O’Caroll) tries to prepare the gang for an incoming storm, but tensions are running high. Speaking of high, elsewhere, Buster (Danny O’Caroll) prepares for a birthday skydive and Winnie (Elish O’Caroll) gets a shock to the system. Meanwhile, the gang is visited by a nun looking for help.
Of course, your mileage will vary depending on whether the latest special is holiday cheer or a celebratory failure, but this far in, you’re either on board or not, and for the fans out there, it’s perfect light-hearted fodder to watch in the new year.
