Due to the low number of television viewers, Christmas Eve audiences are traditionally much lower.

Tuesday, Christmas Eve, TF1 took first place in prime time with “The 12 Christmas Coups”. The variation of “12 coups de midi”, orchestrated by Jean-Luc Reichmann, entertained 2,97 millions of viewers between 9:12 p.m. and 10:31 p.m., according to Médiamétrie. This represents 25,8% of the entire public aged four and over, 25,0% 25-49 year olds and 25,3% Women responsible for purchasing aged under 50.

The continuation of the show in favor of Restos du coeur – which brought together the masters of midday Bruno, winner of the evening with Jarry, Xavier and Céline, respectively in duet with Soprano and Patrick Fiori, and the current champion Émilien, partner of Michèle Bernier – retained the attention of 2.59 million viewers between 10:40 p.m. and 11:40 p.m. (28.2% of the public, 27.4% of 25-49 year olds and 24.7% of FRDA-50).
