Coronation Street has released it’s Christmas schedule, which will see a major shake-up for the show during the festive period.
With there set to be lots of drama on the cobbles over Christmas, from wedding days to burglaries, viewers have high hopes.
However, the Coronation Street Christmas schedule risks a huge fan fury over its New Year scheduling.
Coronation Street releases it’s Christmas schedule
Coronation Street has released it’s Christmas schedule, with fans eager to plan ahead after experiencing an unstable soap schedule recently due to the football.
Over the Christmas period, some big storylines will unfold, with the soap airing on days that it doesn’t usually air on.
Digital Spy has confirmed that Coronation Street will air on the following dates:
Friday December 23, 2022 at 7.30-8.30pm
Sunday December 25, 2022 at 7.00-8.00pm
Monday December 26 at 7.30-8.30pm

Tuesday January 3, 2022 at 8.00-9.00pm
Wednesday January 4, 2022 at 8.00-9.00pm
The soap will air at a variety of different days and times, with many being outside of its usual ITV slot.
However, there will not be a special New Year’s Day episode as some fans will have hoped for.
Coronation Street risks fan fury over schedule
Coronation Street won’t air a New Year’s Day special episode this year, risking fan fury.
Some fans have already started planning how the drama will unfold over Christmas, now likely being left with disappointment over there being no New Year’s Day episode to introduce 2023 in style.
Fans had hoped that Stephen’s storyline would step up a level in Christmas week, with dramatic scenes airing to see in the New Year.
One wrote: “I hope Stephen gives us an iconic Christmas murder spree.”
Another said: “Can’t wait for Stephen to get caught. Gotta get caught on Christmas week surely?”
Another fan predicted that “Ronnie proposes to Debbie Webster soon on maybe Christmas or New Year…”
In past years, the soap has aired a New Year’s Day episode which would round up all of the drama from Christmas week.
However, this year, a New Year’s Day episode won’t air, much like last year.
What to expect of the Christmas episodes
Whilst there won’t be a New Year’s Day episode, the Christmas period will bring viewers lots of exciting drama.
Fiz and Tyrone are set to have a Christmas Day wedding.
Daniel tries to propose to Daisy whilst the Barlows get burgled.
And, Summer struggles to deal with the pressure of being Mike and Esther’s surrogate.
It’s going to be a very exciting time on the cobbles to end the year!
