Let's Dance – Let's Christmas was a Christmas special show of the german dance competition Let's Dance. The show was broadcast in 2 live shows on December 20 and 21, 2013, on RTL. The judges were Jorge Gonzalez, Motsi Mabuse and Joachim Llambi. The hosts were Daniel Hartwich and Sylvie Meis.
Under the motto "Let's Dance – Let's Christmas", five former participants competed against each other in this two-part special edition. As announced on November 12, these were all previous season winners with the exception of Wayne Carpendale and Maite Kelly. Kelly was originally scheduled for the show, but canceled its participation due to scheduling reasons, which is why it was replaced by Moritz A. Sachs.[1] The premium for the winner was fed to a good cause.
