Dr Who star Matt Smith and his assistants are returning to Cardiff to switch on the Christmas lights.
He will be joined on Wednesday evening by actors Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill, who play Amy Pond and her TV husband Rory.
Smith is filming his second series - much of which is shot in and around Cardiff - as the 11th incarnation of the Time Lord for BBC Wales.
The switch-on takes place on King Edward VII Avenue at 1940 GMT.
Smith said: "It's a real honour to be asked to switch on Cardiff's Christmas lights because the city has become like a second home to not only me, but the rest of the Doctor Who production team.
"We love filming here in Wales and we even managed to get into the festive spirit extra early this year when filming the Doctor Who Christmas special in August.
"Cardiff is a great city and I'd like to thank all of its residents for being so welcoming and accommodating."
The light switch-on also marks the 10th anniversary of Cardiff's 'Winter Wonderland' celebrations, which turn the city's civic centre into an open-air ice rink and fair.

“We went through the sort of, milestones together. The first read through,
our first day on set, then we got our first block finished. We’ve had these really huge things in life that we’re sharing.”
(On filming 'The Beast Below') “It was so fun! Me and Matt were just messing around most of the time, throwing cabbage at each other.”
“We’ve grown closer every day. I’m quite fond of her, actually, it has to be said.”
Matt: Hi! No one cares about your silly bedroom.
Karen: *throws pillow at him*
Matt: You’re a bit prettier in the game.
Karen: I knew that was coming.
Karen: I think they’ve been a bit generous to Matt. He’s got a bit off a structured jaw, which isn’t really there.
Matt: Let’s not go there.
And you wonder why we love them?
