Christmas at Downton Abbey

Christmas 1919. Downton Abbey is hosting a lavish Christmas party, yet despite it being the season of goodwill, tensions are rife and Bates's arrest has cast a shadow over the festivities. Will he be a condemned man or will he be found innocent in time to dance with his new wife at the annual servants' ball? Meanwhile, Mary has to consider her future with Sir Richard Carlisle following a contretemps at the shooting party.
