From now until the big day, the ITV Coronation Street website is doing a daily Christmas countdown. Over the next few weeks, they'll be showing classic clips of and teasers and trivia about Corrie Christmases.
Today, some of the cast share their favourite presents of all time in a video special.
For those who can't view the clip, here's what they said:
Catherine Tyldesley (Eva Price) – “The best Christmas present I got as a child was my first make-up set because I’m a bit of a drag queen!”
Brooke Vincent (Sophie Webster) – “That kitchen that every kid wanted, every girl wanted, where the doors used to open – it was dead good. That was my best present.”
Paula Lane (Kylie Platt) – “My first pair of inline rollerblades. I was never out of them and I spent the whole of Christmas on them.”
Simon Gregson (Steve McDonald) – “Big Track! Loved Big Track! Parents hated Big Track as it went round the front room hitting grandparents and all sorts of things.”
Michelle Keegan (Tina McIntyre) – “My granddad made me a doll’s house out of a cardboard box. I absolutely loved it and had it for about ten years until my mum threw it away.”
Samia Smith (Maria Connor) – “There was a game, when we were kids, called Lights Alive. Don’t know if you remember it. You put a black sheet of paper in and then you got these little shapes and you put them in and turned it on and it made a big neon shape. It was very 80s but it was very cool and I loved it.”
What's your favourite Christmas present?
I remember having a miniature farm where you built all the farm buildings (barn, stable, pig sty, chicken coop) and got about three fields made out of wood and then you put fences and gates around them. And then, along with the farm, you got all the animals like cows, sheep, horses, pigs, ducks, chickens, geese, sheepdog and a cat. It was great!
It really made you have an imagination, where you invented stories involving the animals. It's such a shame that these days children are sitting in front of a screen playing computer games.
What about you?
