Speaking earlier this year about Peter's exit on Boxing Day, Coronation Street's producer Iain MacLeod commented: "There's a huge two-hander between [Peter and Carla] – more or less they are the only two cast in the episode.
"It's a greatest hits compilation for those of you that have been big fans of Peter and Carla since the start. It picks over every single detail of who they are, what they've been as a couple, what they want for their future and what happiness looks like for them.
"It's building towards an exit for Peter, which is really brilliant and bittersweet and feels like Corrie at its very best. We often think that Peter and Carla are the Burton and Taylor of the cobbles and we want it to have this highly emotional, very nuanced and realistic ending, which I think is what the writers have achieved."
Other characters tipped to take centre stage this Christmas include Stu Carpenter, the Bailey family and the Winter-Browns.
Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
