It was really only in the Moffatt era that the stories were Christmas themed - RTD's were generally set around Christmas but didn't really base the story much around it and even several of Moffatt's were only very loosely Christmas themed and wouldn't have to have been changed much to work at any other time of year.. In any case I wouldn't pay too much attention to this story. I'd suspect it's more a case of the BBC simply changing the schedule. We're still getting a special and it's only a week later.That’s now changed with showrunner Chris Chibnall reportedly scrapping this year’s special altogether, the first time in thirteen years the series will go without one according to The Mirror. Their sources say the writers have ‘run out’ of Yuletide-themed episodes and so are ditching it
This is where the BBBC will learn that their product isn't wanted!!!
