Hollyoaks confirms full Christmas and New Year schedule

Hollyoaks spoilers follow.

Hollyoaks has confirmed its full scheduling details for the Christmas and New Year period.

The soap will continue to air on E4 over the festive season, with some of the village's most popular families taking centre stage in big storylines.

As Hollyoaks doesn't air on Christmas Day itself, Digital Spy understands that scenes set on the big day will screen on Friday, December 22 instead (Thursday, December 21 at Channel 4 streaming pace).

The fun continues in the following week as we see how the villagers spend the rest of the festive season.
