"All we know about the Christmas special right now is that the Doctor returns to the site where, apparently, he dies for real. Not that I believe that for one quintillionth of a second."

A paper in the UK gave out what they called spoilers, but they're not exactly a reliable source so taking what they say with a grain of salt. Apparently it's supposed to tie up some plot threads that have been pulled in Eleven's tenure. The search for Gallifrey may be Twelve's running thing. And they're not ignoring the fact that the actor's been in the series already. Apparently it's a Thing."
