In “EastEnders Christmas 2024,” fans can expect a festive yet intense holiday season in Walford as the community is blanketed in snow,

creating the perfect setting for Christmas drama. New pictures reveal Albert Square in full holiday spirit—Christmas lights twinkle across

the streets, nutcracker figures stand tall at the entrance of the Queen Vic, and a massive Christmas tree dominates the heart of the Square. But

behind the festive cheer, secrets and unresolved tensions simmer, setting the stage for explosive moments.

The dramatic event was witnessed by the remaining members of the Six—Denise, Sharon, Stacey, Kathy, and Suki—who were pulled into the chaos.
