Sherlock Will Air 2015 Christmas Special Before Series 4

Sherlock will return for a Christmas special, but eager fans will have to wait until 2015 to check back in with their lovable, banter-spitting duo.

In an interview with The Telegraph, Martin Freeman (Dr. John Watson) predicted that the wildly successful series will be back for a Christmas special in 2015, but that a return for Series 4 is still far away. 

Freeman also discussed the role of his wife and fellow Sherlock actor, Amanda Abbington, saying that she will definitely be returning to the show “for the foreseeable future.”

What do you think the Christmas special will focus on? Do you have a particular Sir Arthur Conan Doyle story in mind you'd like to see portrayed? Can you wait until the end of 2015?
