Early Doors
The Trip
Derry Girls
Goodnight Sweetheart
Psychoville
Phoenix Nights
Inbetweeners

They're some of the best one's that could be possible, who's writers and cast are still alive and haven't done a Christmas special before (I don't think)

I would’ve loved another Vicar of Dibley, but obviously there’s not much cast left

Little Britain seems unlikely given that Matt Lucas has vocally distanced himself from it.

The Inbetweeners could randomly be a pretty decent Christmas Special. They all agree to meet up "for a pint" on Christmas eve, having not had a proper reunion for years, high-jinx ensues, Christmas is ruined, etc.
