Hollyoaks Announce Festive Boxset Release Date as Christmas Episodes will be Available to Stream First on Channel 4
Hollyoaks’ annual gift to viewers is back this Christmas as it’s revealed that four special festive episodes will be available to stream on Channel 4 on Monday 22nd December.
This Christmas, Hollyoaks invites viewers to get festive with four of its most iconic families. The festive episodes will follow Christmas Day from start to finish, focussing on one family at a time; the Hutchinsons, the Lomaxes, the Clarks/Maaliks and the McQueens.
Jack and Pearl, alongside the Osbornes, are the uniting thread throughout all four episodes. Pearl takes it upon herself to revive the Christmas magic in the village, but she remains blissfully unaware that Jack is carrying a surprise of his own…
The Christmas boxset follows a triumphant few months for the Channel 4 continuing drama, as the 30th anniversary week in October delivered the show’s strongest performance in years.
The Hollyoaks/Brookside crossover episode was the best Hollyoaks episode for consolidated Inds 000s [645k] since October 2021 and best for share [5.8%] since February 2020. The special episode was the best ever episode of Hollyoaks on streaming, excluding Christmas episodes [7day, O&O] [522k].
Here is what to expect with each episode available to stream on Channel 4 at 6am on Monday 22nd December…
