Clean Bandit and Louisa Johnson – whose hit ‘Rockabye’ is currently number one in the Official Singles Chart – complete the line up along with Zara Larsson, Olly Murs, Nathan Sykes and Anne Marie.
Returning hosts Fearne Cotton and Reggie Yates will take on presenting duties and Ferne – who fronted the show from 2004 until 2006 – teased the shows will be "epic".
The blonde beauty said: "The festive ‘Top of the Pops’ specials are such a wonderful tradition, and I’m so happy they’re back for another year. The line up is as epic as ever, and the show’s promise to be a special watch."
Reggie agreed and said he can’t wait for the party to return for another year.
He said: "Hosting the annual Top of The Pops Christmas and New Year’s Eve specials is one of the highlights of my year – it’s always a pleasure to present the biggest pop party on TV alongside my old friend Fearne."
Other stars to join in the festive fun are Dua Lipa, Alan Walker, Kideko & George Kwali featuring Nadia Rose & Sweetie Irie, Jonas Blue featuring JP Cooper and Blossoms.
