In a very roundabout way, the BBC One Twitter handle tonight also told us a little more about The Empty Hearse, strongly implying that our favourite consulting detective would return for the festive season:
It was properly confirmed this morning by the BBC One tumblr:

Sherlock S03E01 airs in the US on January 19 — so not too far away. (Rights lie with PBS Masterpiece, not BBC America.)
