Emmerdale has revealed more details about this year's special Christmas episode – along with a brand new Robron image.
Robert Sugden and Aaron Dingle will take centre stage in an hour-long special on Christmas Day, which sees the show experiment by paying homage to some classic movies.
Inspired by A Christmas Carol and Groundhog Day, Emmerdale's festive edition will see Robert pushed to his limits as he continually wakes on Christmas morning to a different reality.
Robert finds himself trapped as he struggles to escape from his perpetual nightmare – but how will his estrangement from his soulmate Aaron manifest itself as the bizarre experience continues?
Emmerdale's producer Iain MacLeod explained: "Think Groundhog Day, and A Christmas Carol with a little nod to the film Don't Look Now thrown in and that's been our approach to the Christmas Day episode.
"It's been amazing to produce, as we're constantly thinking of ways to push the boundaries of storytelling and keep Emmerdale fresh and our loyal viewers on their toes!
"We've all acknowledged the risks of filming such a stand alone episode, but we sincerely hope the audience will appreciate we've tried to do something a bit different in the same way we devoted an episode to Ashley's story last Christmas."
He added: "Apart from the scary aspect to Robert's situation, the episode is also heartfelt and hilarious in parts. Christmas wouldn't be the same without a healthy dose of the Dingles and a comedy cameo which we hope will please our viewers.
"Watch out for the ghost of Christmas Future as you might recognise them!"

Danny Miller, who plays Aaron, has previously told Digital Spy that Robron won't reunite at Christmas – but it's no secret that they will be back together and tying the knot again next year.
"I think people are getting their hopes up thinking that's Robert and Aaron back together, but anybody that knows Emmerdale will know that it's a little too simple for it to be Christmas Day," Danny told us.
"It's certainly a Robron episode – moreso Robert. But it's a Robron episode and it's about them dealing with their past, dealing with their future and sorting out a lot of holes that are in their relationship, not just as partners but as friends as well.
"It's a really interesting concept and of course everyone knows what's going to happen next year, so it's just teasing you a little bit more."
