Coronation Street producer Iain MacLeod has promised fans "loads of warmth" from this year's Christmas episodes.
Fiz (Jennie McAlpine) and Tyrone (Alan Halsall) will feature prominently over the festive period as he looks to pull off a surprise wedding, while Daniel (Rob Mallard) contemplates one of his own as he decides to pop the question to Daisy (Charlotte Jordan).
"We're right in our wheelhouse now with this Christmas," MacLeod told press including the Radio Times. "It's got loads of comedy, family fun and loads of warmth.
"I cried twice in the viewing and I'm not given to tears! It was really moving and lovely, not sad, but in a warm-your-cockles way. I really think fans are going to love it."
He added: "The Fiz and Tyrone strand is the centrepiece - really good fun, and just the right amount of silly, brilliant writing.
"The performers are exemplary, as they are across the show generally, but Alan and Jennie are marvellous. The kids are great.
"It feels totally Christmassy and totally Corrie. It's a warm, good-spirited end to the year for us."
Coronation Street continues Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1.
