Christmas in Hollyoaks saw Milo Entwistle take centre stage as creepy DS Armstrong returned to the village to torment his former victims Cindy and Leela.
Over the hour-long special, audiences were treated to several holiday-themed Christmas twists and turns, from Courtney going into labour and welcoming a baby girl before she and Jesse finally admitted their feelings for one another, to Sienna wrestling with Christmas dinner (and Brussel sprouts) and having fun with Joel, before she shockingly collapsed at home after a number of dizzy spells.
But by far the biggest turn came during Milo and Armstrong's Home Alone-style showdown, which ended up with Armstrong being electrocuted by Milo's dodgy Christmas lights, marking the end of his reign of terror once and for all.
Cheery holiday season in Hollyoaks then, eh?
Here are all of the best reactions viewers had to the Hollyoaks 2017 Christmas special.
