Speaking earlier this year, Emmerdale producer Laura Shaw commented: "Heading up to Christmas, we've got some exciting plans but I have absolutely, definitely been sworn to secrecy on this one!
"What I can tell you is that, in the last couple of years, we've done a light, fluffier Christmas for Emmerdale, but this one is quite different in tone.
"A lot of it is edgier for us for Christmas. I can tell you that definitely not every one of our villagers will be sat down eating their turkey with all the trimmings on Christmas Day."
Storylines that have been promoted so far have included the arrival of Chloe Harris' father and Tracy Metcalfe and Caleb Miligan being caught out over their affair on Christmas Day.
