Whats a Christmas Day without bucks fizz, family board games and without a healthy dose of soaps? Its important to plan the day right to fit everything in, so youll want to know exactly when you can catch EastEnders, Coronation Street, Emmerdale, Hollyoaks, Casualty and Holby City so that you can make time for taking on your Gran at Cranium before bedtime too.

On 1 January for example youll be enjoying Neighbours with your breakfast, and on the same day Corrie and EastEnders have a big old clash youll want to watch out for.

And, sadly folks, therell be no Home And Away for the foreseeable as the show enjoys its annual festive break.
But will Sally Metcalfe be enduring a Christmas behind bars? Will Marlon Dingle be walking down the aisle? Will Mick Carter spend a loved up Christmas back in the arms of wife Linda? And after that dramatic Casualty trailer dropped, will Connie Beauchamp survive into the new year?
