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.
