Emmerdale 2025 Christmas schedules confirmed by ITV - including extended festive episode
Here's when you can see Emmerdale during Christmas.
It's the most wonderful time of the year - but also the most confusing, as our TV schedules are shifted about to accommodate the numerous festive specials.
That means that the soaps have to find alternative homes throughout the festive period, including Emmerdale.
Celia Daniels's (Jaye Griffiths) reign of terror will continue, as Bear Wolf (Joshua Richards) remains trapped in her modern slavery operation.
Will he be able to escape her clutches?
There's also the matter of Charity Dingle's (Emma Atkins) baby secret, while Kim Tate (Claire King) has an eventful Christmas following injuries sustained in next week's episodes.
It's bound to be an eventful time for the villagers in the lead up to the much-anticipated Corriedale crossover in the New Year...
