Pretty much granted BBC Two (or maybe One) will wheel out the regular airing of Morecambe & Wise, usually one of the Christmas shows they did, and probably a Christmas special episode of Dad's Army.
Also guaranteed to show the King's Christmas Speech, which may be a bit more run of the mill this year for him as opposed to last year for obvious reasons.
Beyond that as above, it'll be the usual stuff, its not like the schedules are as good as they used to be, probably because the programmes aren't as good as they used to be; the comment above re: the ITV schedule of Christmas 1993, well the article on TV Cream suggests advertisers weren't interested, so ITV didn't really have a lot of choice so they shoved everything in Autumn and left it at that.
