I'd like to see some more classic monsters, but I don't know if one that's only ever appeared in one story could carry a Christmas special. Not so much in terms of story, but because that's the one time the BBC are fighting for the ratings top spot more than ever. Plus since it's going to be Matt's leaving story, I guess they want a monster that can carry a level of threat in the build up to it. The average viewer isn't going to view something like a Zarbi (my god I'd love to see them come back) or a Quark as a big deal.

How many "recurring" classic villains are there left to cover anyway? We've had Daleks, Cybermen, Autons, Ice Warriors, the Great Intelligence (which rules out Yeti for now I guess) Sontarans, Silurians and the Master...the only ones that spring to mind are the Rani (yeah, no thanks), Sil and Sea Devils.

I think it was bold for them to use the Zygons for the 50th anniversary despite, being firm fan favourites, having only appeared in one story. But I guess that boldness is offset by the fact the episode will also have Daleks in it.
