Who's the goose?

Goose is a very traditional Christmas food, but in the Masked Singer, it's a huge costume with a hidden celebrity inside.
The rural TV show and magazine Countryfile says that geese used to be cheaper than turkeys, which used to be quite a fancy thing to eat until the 19th century.
In Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, Scrooge treats the Cratchit family to a huge goose for their Christmas dinner once he's realised he needs to change his miserly ways.
Under the Mistletoe

This celebrity is dressed as lips and mistletoe, but who do you think it could be?
As well as guest pantomime stars, it looks like there'll be loads of dancers and amazing sets on The Masked Singer - they're even having a big Christmas dinner here!
Oh bring us some Figgy Pudding!

Joining goose in the Christmas dinner themed costumes is this giant figgy pudding.
Fiddy pudding, or Christmas pudding, is also mentioned in A Christmas Carol, but the organisation English Heritage say that the dish began as a broth-like meal back in the 14th century.
But it was in the Victorian era, it became the popular dish as we know it today.
What will this present be?

And finally, it's a sack full of presents - but who's under the box?
In last year's special, the celebrities in the masks were TV personality Josie Gibson, Strictly judge Motsi Mabuse, presenter Davina McCall, and Frankie Goes to Hollywood frontman Holly Johnson, who won the episode.
But who do you think will be singing this year? Comment below with your thoughts!
