Neighbours releases Christmas Day spoilers and pictures

Neighbours has released new spoilers and photos for Christmas Day and the rest of the festive week.

It marks the first time since 2019 that Neighbours will air on Christmas Day – with episodes airing as normal from Monday 25th to Thursday 28th December on both Amazon Freevee in the UK and 10 / 10 Peach in Australia.

The last Christmas Day episode in 2019 saw Elly Conway (Jodi Gordon) held captive by Robert Robinson (Adam Hunter), the birth of Elly’s daughter Aster, and David’s (Takaya Honda) life on the line as Paul (Stefan Dennis) desperately tried to find him a kidney transplant.

The previous year, 2018, saw Paul visited by the ghost of his father, Jim Robinson (Alan Dale), who appeared to him in a bauble.

This year’s Christmas Day episode is a little more full of festive cheer, but it does still see one Ramsay Street resident at risk after an accident leaves their life on the line.

Thanks to an unfortunately timed argument, the injured party is left to suffer alone, and it’ll be an anxious wait until Boxing Day’s episode to see if they survive.

If you can’t wait until then to find out what’s in store, the newly released photos may just give it away… and the accident leads to a shocking ultimatum that may split up one of the Ramsay Street houses for good.

Elsewhere, most of the remaining residents of Ramsay Street are in a joyful mood on the big day, as Terese (Rebekah Elmaloglou) and Toadie (Ryan Moloney) celebrate their first Christmas as a married couple with kids Nell (Ayisha Salem-Towner) and Hugo (Tanner Ellis-Anderson).

Three doors down at No. 28, Melanie (Lucinda Cowden) is now living with Karl (Alan Fletcher) and Susan (Jackie Woodburne), and Christmas Day becomes too much for her as she faces another year without Toadie.

We already know that Paul is set for a lonely Christmas, having been disowned by David after the events of Flashback Week.

In the pre-Christmas episode on Thursday 21st December, Aaron (Matt Wilson) takes pity on Paul as he faces spending the day alone, and Paul will get a couple of Christmas Day visitors – but not all of them as accommodating as Aaron.

Thankfully, unlike Paul’s Christmases of yore, none of this year’s visitors will be in a bauble.

Of course, Paul still won’t change his ways, and Boxing Day’s episode sees him set an impossible challenge for his newest business rival – are they up to the task?

Finally, Neighbours’ Christmas week ends on a high with a very special union on Thursday 28th December… but we’re not allowed to talk about that yet ?

Rumours are already flying as to the event, but pop back this Thursday 14th December as we reveal all, and present some more very special pictures from the big storyline.

A last-minute cancellation by Santa himself means Paul Robinson has no choice but to dress up. While he’s reluctant, the outfit does give him the chance to get close to his granddaughters, despite promising David that he’ll stay away.

The Christmas cheer also leads to Mackenzie (Georgie Stone) and Byron (Xavier Molyneux) getting a little too close – but while they don’t hook up, Haz (Shiv Palekar) jumps to the wrong conclusion when he sees Byron leaving Mac’s bedroom, leading to a huge falling out.

Toadie is also left shaken by powerful memories of his marriage to Mel when he comes across confetti from their big day on Ramsay Street.

Faced with her now back in his life, living just three doors down, are his feelings starting to return?
