What Are the Times for the Eastenders Christmas Special Double Episode?
Settle in for a festive night of drama, as Eastenders will air at 7.25 pm and 10.35 pm on Christmas Day. If you miss one or both episodes, you can stream them on BBC iPlayer.
What is the Christmas Day Plot?
The Christmas Day episodes will see the Beales and the Knights spending Christmas together. However, the day will take a turn for the worst when Cindy Beale and Junior Knight’s affair is finally exposed to the families.
Old feelings will be brought to the surface following a kiss between Martin and Stacey. Also, Phil Mitchell struggles with loneliness now his ex-wife Sharon has moved on, and Denise receives an unexpected present from an unlikely person.
Will There Be a Christmas Death?
Eastenders is no stranger to killing off its biggest characters at Christmastime. Prime examples include Pauline Fowler, Jamie Mitchell, the Branning sisters, and Mick Carter.
It appears 2024 might not be an exception, either, as a recent script leak might be proof that an Albert Square resident will die in a festive episode this year. You will need to tune in to watch it on Christmas Day to find out who it will be.
How Many People Watch Eastenders on Christmas Day?
The 2023 Christmas Day episode of Eastenders was reportedly watched by 3.6 million people in the UK, which was more than the 3.17 million that tuned in in 2022.
For this reason, it isn’t the favorite to win the ratings war this year, as it might face tough competition from Gavin & Stacey: The Finale, The King’s Speech, Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl, and the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special, to name a few.
However, as the double episodes flank the Call the Midwife and Gavin and Stacey Christmas Specials, Eastenders could attract a larger audience this year.
Can I Watch an Official Trailer?
Yes, the BBC has recently added an Eastenders Christmas 2024 trailer to its website, which provides an insight into what to expect from the festive episodes of the iconic soap.
The trailer suggests Elaine is the first to learn about Cindy and Junior’s affair, and she isn’t willing to help Cindy hide her secret.
A clip shows Cindy pleading, “We need to work together on this, Elaine,” causing Elaine to respond, “I don’t think so. This is your problem, not mine.”
Also, a recording of Cindy admitting to the affair could threaten her relationship with Junior moving forward, as she claims to have feelings for her ex-husband, saying, “Do you know, sometimes I am in bed with Junior, I close my eyes and think of George.”
If you believe Eastenders (7.25 pm) will be the most watched UK TV show on Christmas Day 2024, you could win $3400 by betting $100 at 1xBet if it happens.
