I admit, I'm not so bothered by the hackneyed storyline - as you say it IS Christmas, and also, Moff is on record as saying that he deliberately wanted to provide something different in tone to last year's specials - for obvious reasons. If you can do the hackney-ing well, and maybe provide a new insight or do something different with it, then all well and good. I don't think that happened here, though.
It was fun and Matt was really good. It was when I started actually thinking about it that the rot set in!
