Corrie spoilers have teased what is in store for the Weatherfield residents on Christmas Day, and there is plenty of drama and fun this year
Coronation Street is lining up a joyous Christmas Day episode of the ITV soap this year, while there is some of the usual drama too.
Corrie boss Iain MacLeod recently told The Mirror: “It’s quite jolly actually. Obviously there is a tradition on some soaps to go really big and dark and go a bit gothic at Christmas. Occasionally we have tipped our toe into that water. It’s fair to say this year is more akin to a traditional Coronation Street Christmas.
“It’s very funny in places. It’s very silly, and it’s really heartwarming and joyous.
“There is a really strong community vibe this year, where we were actually able to film it at a time where there was a window of opportunity, to do some stuff where the actors didn’t have to be two metres apart all the time.

“So it’s got more of that Corrie community on the cobbles kind of feeling that some of our past Christmas episodes had.”
He went on: “It’s very jolly, very community focused, very family focused. It has one of the silliest fights I have ever seen in anything ever, which involves the immortal line, ‘smell my marigold’ which I will leave for you to work out what that might refer to.
“It’s a fantastically good hour of television, I have to say I watched it when I wasn’t feeling very festive, and by the end of it I had a kind of mince pie shaped lump in my throat.
