Funds, though, are low. Daisy and Jenny are frantically trying to find the money they need to close the deal. And as the deadline approaches, they're forced to take even more drastic steps to find the cash they need.
But what will Jenny and Daisy do to get the money? Will they succeed? And will the Rovers be open in time for a New Year knees up?!
Will Daniel and Daisy kiss and make up?
Along with trying to save the pub, Daisy's busy trying to save her relationship with Daniel.
Her affair with Ryan Connor has been revealed and devastated Daniel wants nothing to do with his former fiance.
But Daisy's not one to give up without a fight and she's determined to get Daniel to rekindle their romance.
We know Daniel loved Daisy, once. But we also know that he can be unpredictable at times - remember when he pushed Ken down the stairs? Or his vendetta against Max? Will he forgive Daisy and start afresh? Or will he do something more sinister?
Sad goodbye
We've known for a while that Peter Barlow will be saying goodbye to Weatherfield as actor Chris Gascoyne takes a break from the show.
And it's this Christmas when Peter will wave farewell to wife Carla and Coronation Street.
Poor Peter has been battling demons since he ran over serial killer Stephen Reid. He's been tempted to start drinking again, and he's been feeling neglected by Carla as she's been fighting hard to save the factory. He's even started dreaming about sailing off round the world.
So how will Peter say goodbye to the Street? Will he break Carla's heart (again!)? Or will they manage to work things out and look forward to the future?
Whatever happens, it's going to be an eventful Christmas chez Barlow!

Gemma is struggling too as she tries to cope with the accusations that have been made about her parenting of young Joseph.
Can she make it through the heartache of everything that's going on, and make this Christmas a happy one for the family?

Ed Bailey's struggling with his relapse into his gambling addiction and now dad Sarge has arrived and is battering poor Ed's self-esteem.
But Ed's already in too deep with his gambling causing him to go to some desperate lengths to chase his losses. He owes contractor Tony, and he's even been using a credit card in Norris Cole's name.
