In a first for fans, Neighbours is continuing to broadcast over the Christmas period, in a series of 25 1-2 minute special webisodes
Neighbours fans who are missing a fix of their favourite Aussie soap over Christmas can rest easy – the show will continue with a series of daily 1-2 minute webisodes on its UK Facebook page.
For the first time ever, viewers will be able to follow Neighbours storylines during the Christmas break, with an extra special treat on Christmas Day when Sheila Canning (Collette Mann) – Ramsay Street’s very own matriarch – will address the Nation.
In a first ever for Neighbours, fans will get to experience a Ramsay Street Christmas, as well as five bespoke storylines that will broadcast on Facebook.
Twenty-five 1-2 minute-long episodes, featuring some of the show’s favourite characters, will play out every weekday from Monday, December 5th to Friday January 7th.
Neighbours returns to Channel 5 on January 9th.
Neighbours’ Senior Social & Digital Producer, Ric Forster said: “Following the popularity of our Xanthe ♥ Ben soap bubble earlier in the year, we thought it would be fun to try something new. These new episodes give Neighbours fans a special Christmas treat so that they never miss their favourite daily drama while the show takes its festive break on Channel 5.”
