EastEnders will promote it's festive episode with a trailer where the sound of a choirboy angelically singing a carol will be juxtaposed with images of some sinister deed.

At least 2 of "The Most Wonderful Time of the Year", Slade's "Merry Christmas Everybody" and Wizzard's "I Wish It Could Be Xmas" will be played in every soap.
The Corrie Nativity Play always ends up in some sort of brawl. |

There will be fisticuffs/some sort of fight on Christmas Day usually outside in the street/square/village as others watch on...
A character will make an 'explosive' return on Christmas Day itself, despite there being no trains, buses etc!! |

Just realised the biggest soap cliche that's slapping us in the face in pretty much every episode of EE at the moment ...
Residents suddenly come together to put on a festive production for the local community. Characters who have previously shown no interest in theatre or drama are quickly reinvented as talented thespians, with some characters (Denise) suddenly showing promise as writers and directors. |

& Dot's always dismayed by the lack of accuracy in said nativity play. She also has to give at least one character a heart to heart, though who knows where now she's out of the laundrette!
As someone else mentioned in another thread: 'christmas shopping' is always an excuse used to cover up some kind of secret whether that be an affair or a dead body. |

EastEnders 13/12/2016
Ian has bought too many Christmas trees to be sold on the stall. Where will they end up? Hilarity will surely ensue ... |

Somebody's oven will not work or someone will have forgotten to switch it on on Christmas Day meaning their dinner is ruined and the family in question will have to gatecrash someone else's meal

A single christmas decoration will bring back uncomfortable memories for a character.
In tonight's River City Patrick was traumatised by the star on the Christmas tree. I think Emmerdale is doing a similar thing with the Bartons? |
