If you believed Jimmy Kimmel was finished making fun of certain political themes after his year-end show, you’re in for a surprise. He’s actually preparing a special Christmas Day message for Channel 4 in the U.K., where he’ll jokingly reflect on what he calls a ‘great year for fascism.’
For over 30 years, a British TV channel has broadcast an Alternative Christmas Message – a different take on the year compared to the traditional message from the Queen (now King Charles III). The message has been delivered by a diverse group of personalities, including celebrities like Marge Simpson, Sharon Osbourne, Stephen Fry, and Ali G. Now it’s Jimmy Kimmel’s turn, and it’s safe to say we have a good idea of what he’ll be talking about.
Jimmy Kimmel has become a major television critic of President Donald Trump, and their contentious relationship recently escalated. In September, Kimmel was temporarily taken off the air after making comments about Charlie Kirk’s passing. Trump publicly celebrated the suspension on social media, but was later angered when Kimmel’s show returned and attracted a large audience.
Jimmy Kimmel is reaching a wider audience with his message of hope, particularly resonating with people who are concerned about the current situation in the U.S. and the current administration.

Jimmy Kimmel has often used his late-night show to publicly criticize Donald Trump, and his upcoming Christmas message is expected to continue in a similar vein. While the specifics haven’t been released, a Channel 4 representative stated the ten-minute message will have a generally positive and heartwarming tone.
2025 has been dominated by Donald Trump’s return to the presidency and the significant changes happening globally. No one is better suited to discuss these events than Jimmy Kimmel, who has been a central figure in the ongoing American debate about free speech.
2025 has been a year filled with surprising and often troubling events, many of which stem from Donald Trump’s presidency. This provides Jimmy Kimmel with ample material for his annual address, and it’s likely to attract a large audience, especially those who have been following his public disagreements with Trump.
