The EastEnders Christmas special is one of the highlights of the festive period, pulling in millions of viewers each year. From Den serving Angie the divorce papers to six Walford women becoming entwined in a murder, it's never a dull day for the Albert Square residents.
This time is no exception, with a jam-packed two weeks of drama, intrigue and nostalgia.
TV schedules will once again be moved around to facilitate a host of other holiday specials, meaning if you want to catch Pat Evans's (Pam St Clement) return to Walford or find out the identity of Zoe Slater's (Michelle Ryan) tormenter, you'll have to do some adjusting.
There's also an exciting flashforward episode on New Year's Day, giving us a unique look ahead to 2027...
