Yahoo News Hollyoaks to release Christmas and New Year episodes early
Christmas has come early for Hollyoaks fans – quite literally – as the soap will be releasing its Christmas and New Year episodes on All 4 ahead of transmission.
As an early Christmas present for fans, four festive episodes will be available earlier than scheduled thanks to a brand new boxset on Channel 4's on-demand service, All 4.
The episodes, including one Christmas hour-long special and one New Year's Eve flash-forward hour-long special, will be ready to watch from Friday, December 20, so there's no need to schedule your last-minute present dash or Christmas party recovery around your 'Oaks fix.
