Coronation Street 2025 Christmas schedules confirmed by ITV - including extended festive episode
Here's when you can catch Corrie over the Christmas period.
Here we go, Corrie fans!
Coronation Street has confirmed its Christmas and New Year schedules, to help save on the confusion as our beloved soaps are shunted about to facilitate a load of festive specials.
We've got a lot to be excited about in the episodes. Gail Chadwick (Helen Worth) is staging a grand return, albeit virtually, as things get heated around the Driscoll's turkey dinner.
Tensions begin to rise, and someone is assaulted in the ginnel.
There's a sad death for the Webster family, while Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce) faces an uncertain future amid his abusive relationship with Theo Silverton (James Cartwright).
Plus, as the bells of Big Ben chime in 2026, we look ahead to the Corriedale crossover.
