Sony Entertainment Television has announced a festive New Year programming line-up that will run for an entire week, from December 27, 2025 to January 2, 2026, promising viewers a celebratory blend of entertainment, music and special moments across its flagship shows.
The special schedule, which is part of the channel’s year-end celebrations, will see a host of popular artistes joining its marquee properties. Well-known names such as Kiku Sharda, Sharib Hashmi, Madhubanti Bagchi, Daler Mehndi, Manoj Tiwari and Mona Singh are set to appear in specially curated New Year episodes of ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’, ‘India’s Got Talent’ and ‘Indian Idol’. These episodes will feature festive performances, engaging interactions and light-hearted moments themed around welcoming the New Year.
The programming strategy brings together multiple genres and formats, with Sony Entertainment Television spreading the celebrations across its most recognisable shows rather than limiting them to a single event. By doing so, the channel aims to offer audiences a continuous flow of special content throughout the holiday week, making its prime-time line-up synonymous with New Year viewing.
With this curated slate, Sony Entertainment Television is positioning its core shows as must-watch destinations during the year-end period, targeting family audiences and reinforcing its presence as a key entertainment choice as viewers ring in 2026.
