With the arrival of the festive season, the days get shorter and the temperature drops, signaling the start of Christmas. As we prepare for the holiday season, there are some changes in store for our favorite soaps like Coronation Street, but don't worry, we have all the information you need.
This Christmas, the cobbles will be buzzing with excitement as we gear up for the much-anticipated Corriedale crossover in the New Year. This special episode will see our beloved characters from Weatherfield join forces with the residents of Emmerdale in a first-of-its-kind event for the ITV soaps. But before we get to that, there is still plenty of drama to be had on the cobbles.
During this time of year, the TV schedules can be quite hectic, and you might be surprised to find something else on in Coronation Street's usual time slot. To avoid any confusion, we have a handy guide to let you know when the show will be airing over Christmas and New Year.
So, when can you catch Coronation Street during the festive period? Let the celebrations begin! The show will air at the following times:
- Monday, December 22: 8-9pm
- Wednesday, December 24: 8:40-9:10pm
- Thursday, December 25: 7:15-8:15pm

From January 5, there will be a permanent change in the ITV soap schedules. Coronation Street will now air at 7:30pm on weeknights for 30 minutes, followed by a 30-minute episode of Emmerdale at 7pm. This will create a 'soap power hour' and will kick off with the much-awaited Corriedale crossover episode on January 5 at 8pm.
But before we get to all that, there are still some dramatic storylines to be resolved in Weatherfield. Last year, we said goodbye to Gail Platt after 50 years on screen, but this Christmas, she's back in the form of a video message for the Platts. However, things are not as peaceful for everyone else.
Becky Swain has made herself at home at No.6 after Carla Connor and Lisa Swain's break-up. As she becomes closer to Lisa, the detective sergeant can't help but think about Carla, especially when she learns that Carla never checked into her hotel in Lanzarote. Things take a turn for the worse when Evelyn Plummer finds one of the locals brutally attacked on Boxing Day. Whose life is in danger, and who is responsible?
Meanwhile, Todd Grimshaw continues to suffer at the hands of Theo Silverton, but Billy Mayhew starts to suspect that something is not right in their relationship. Elsewhere, Eva Price is keeping a major secret that could ruin Christmas for the Driscoll-Prices. And as Debbie Webster and Ronnie Bailey tie the knot, Carl Webster's lies could start to unravel when Ryan Connor becomes suspicious of his actions.
As we look forward to the new year, there is no doubt that the residents of Weatherfield will continue to keep us entertained with their compelling storylines. So, make sure to tune in and catch all the action on Coronation Street this Christmas and New Year.
