A Christmas Special? Why not. Lol.
Sam Pang and Courtney Act should provide a good entertaining appearances.
Doesn’t appear though to be returning in 2025?
From the ABC Media Release about the 2025 Slate:
New favourites Shaun Micallef’s Eve of Destruction and A Bite To Eat with Alice are in development to return.
A Christmas special being commissioned is a good sign of another season also being eventually commissioned.

Courtney Act is a brilliant guest on a chat show.
Why hasn’t someone given her a chat show to host? I’m sure she would be excellent in that role.
She hosted ABC’s One Plus One last year (or two). I find her better suited as a guest, rather than host.

A little surprised that this is returning (although already announced some time ago). But still good to have Micallef back in a hosting role - even if this show is a little disjointed.
There will be 7 episodes in the new season (down from 8 eps, plus the Christmas Special of last year).
