The ITV soap opera has received a glittering makeover in order to celebrate Christmas in style this year.
The Coronation Street set is now adorned with an abundance of colourful Christmas lights hanging across the famous terraced houses.
It is hoping to cheer up the residents and spread some Christmas magic to the Rovers, the Bistro and Underworld.
The Manchester set has also seen a large Christmas tree arrive opposite the iconic Rovers Return.
