Soap icons battle it out in this year’s most hilarious holiday quiz—bigger teams, epic trivia, and a “Corriedale” twist!

It’s Back—And Bigger Than Ever

The festive battle between ITV’s two soap giants is back! The Big Quiz: Coronation Street v Emmerdale returns for another side-splitting edition this Christmas—and it’s going to be the biggest showdown yet.

Hosted once again by Stephen Mulhern, the quiz will feature even larger teams, brand-new challenges, and a surprise cross-soap Corriedale round that fans won’t want to miss. Expect laughs, banter, and plenty of chaos as the casts from both iconic soaps go head-to-head.

Soap Legends Lead the Charge

Leading the charge once again are two familiar captains:

• Jack P. Shepherd (David Platt) takes the helm for Coronation Street

• Mark Charnock (Marlon Dingle) commands the Emmerdale side

The two seasoned actors are ready to defend their soap’s honor alongside castmates, digging into the year’s wildest, most emotional, and most outrageous storylines.

And if that’s not exciting enough, two legendary soap stars will make a surprise return during the quiz—though ITV is keeping their identities under wraps until broadcast night.

What to Expect

This year’s quiz promises:

• Larger teams with more fan-favorite cast members

• Hilarious trivia based on 2025’s most memorable soap storylines

• Unexpected challenges that put soap stars’ knowledge to the test

• A Corriedale crossover round that blends the best of both worlds

From Weatherfield’s cobbles to the fields of the Yorkshire Dales, both teams have a lot to prove—and even more to laugh about.
