Under the motto “Let’s Dance – Let’s Christmas”, five former participants competed against each other in this two-part special edition. As announced on November 12, these were all previous season winners with the exception of Wayne Carpendale and Maite Kelly. Kelly was originally scheduled for the show, but canceled its participation due to scheduling reasons, which is why it was replaced by Moritz A. Sachs.^[1] The premium for the winner was fed to a good cause.
