Channel 4 confirms return of Matt Baker’s hit show after months off screen
CHANNEL 4 have confirmed the return of Matt Baker’s festive family favourite this Christmas.
Matt Baker: Christmas Travels With Mum and Dad will be back on our screens next month on More4.
The series, which features Matt’s parents Mike and Janice, has been off our screens for months but fans won’t have long to wait to see the family reunited on their travels again.
The show follows the Bakers as they leave their beloved Durham Dales to sample the best Christmas offerings from neighbouring counties.
Previous Christmas episodes have seen the farming family travel across the North of England.
They have visited the renowned Bettys Café Tea Rooms and the Shambles in the city of York.

Further west they have visited Coniston Water and Dove Cottage, home of William Wordsworth, in the Lake District.
Matt previously said: “Christmas has always been a big deal for our family, and on the farm.”
He also added how Christmas gives his parents a much needed break from their busy farm life.
Viewers will have to wait and see if the family’s famous caravan will make the trip with them this year.

The last series aired in September and taking to Instagram towards the end of its run, Matt said: “We’ve had such a lovely year making these programmes together.
"Huge thanks to our production team who’ve put their hearts into each episode and to all the lovely people we’ve met along the way we’ve made memories we’ll treasure forever.
“Exclusive… We’ll see you soon for some Christmas Specials!"
He previously described the adventures he has with his parents as “real treasures”.
He said: “It's such a treat for me to be able to head off and explore with my parents, we have such a laugh!
"But if taking my folks and a caravan out and about isn’t challenging enough, this time we're taking a puppy along for the ride!
"All of these trips are planned around what I think my parents are going to love and I'm proud to say we haven't picked a duff one yet.”
