Penned by Adolescence writer Jack Thorne, this version has been held for nine straight Christmases, always pulling in a high-profile actor like Doctor Who's Christopher Eccleston and John Simm.
"I'm absolutely loath to repeat somebody else's performance, so I'm resisting obvious choices and trying to really connect it to my own life experience, because in Jack's version, it's a very domestic, 21st Century psychological, realistic account.
He continued: "I've got this thing that Scrooge is an everyman character, that we all have aspects of Scrooge. We all recognise the curmudgeonly, the emotionally detached, the aggressive patriarch. We all have the experience of wanting to just shut the world out and preserve ourselves.
"Scrooge is blinkered by self interest and obviously money and I think everybody has a feeling about that. The world is run by people like that."
"So I've been rehearsing in the costume, which is a layer which you would normally apply much further down the line. So I would say that from day one, I felt I've been wearing the character. I haven't had to reach for him."
"I haven't once referenced the original while in the rehearsal room," said Hilton, "Jack has created something which speaks to a modern audience. It's a hybrid. It addresses diversity issues, gender, and it has to address these things because these are the times that we live in."
