The clip shows Santa Claus (Nick Frost) talking to Clara (Jenna Coleman) on a roof, confirming that Clara will play a role in the special despite her and the Doctor’s long goodbye in the Series 8 finale. The Doctor (Peter Capaldi) arrives in the TARDIS, and Clara seems shocked to see him. This could imply that some significant amount of time has passed for Clara since the finale, even though the episode ends with Santa boarding the TARDIS.

The Doctor Who Christmas Special airs Christmas Day, December 25, on BBC America.
