Festive cheer is coming to Ho-Ho-Hollyoaks village this Christmas after the Channel Four soap revealed four special episodes this month. In its annual gift to fans of the show, Hollyoaks will have four special Yuletide episodes available to stream on Channel Four on Monday, December 22.
Each episode will focus on a different family as they celebrate Christmas Day from start to finish, including the Hutchinsons, the Lomaxes, the Clarks/Maaliks, and the McQueens.
A synopsis for the upcoming festivities teases: "Jack and Pearl, alongside the Osbornes, are the uniting thread throughout all four episodes. Pearl takes it upon herself to revive the Christmas magic in the village, but she remains blissfully unaware that Jack is carrying a surprise of his own…"
In the episode focusing on The Hutchinsons, "an unexpected present sends the day into turmoil," while Jack Osborne sets out on a special mission to make the day extra special.
Christmas with the McQueens follows, but for Mercedes, "the sparkle has faded" around the holiday.
