Emmerdale has confirmed a devastating fire will rip through the ITV soap's famous pub The Woolpack this Christmas, after pictures from set recently teased the new plot.
While it's not been confirmed if anyone will be hurt in the blaze, it's been teased it might be deliberate.
Amid huge Winter spoilers being confirmed, the soap has now released dramatic pictures of the moment the village landmark goes up in smoke.
A huge explosion can be seen escaping the building, setting it alight and sending debris everywhere.
Recently, Al Chapman has been plotting to get his hands on the pub as he plans to turn it into luxury flats.
After becoming an investor, he has since gone to war with managers Chas and Marlon Dingle, continuing to try and run the place into the ground.
Chas and Marlon are struggling with his behaviour, with him setting them up and undermining them constantly.
So when the pub goes up in smoke this Christmas Day, it could easily spell the end to Al's reign of terror, and his plans to screw them over.
But could it possibly work in his favour, and might he be behind the devastating twist?
Viewers will learn more in upcoming scenes and this Christmas, but the Dingles will no doubt be mortified to see their home and livelihoods destroyed.
It's clear the pub will not survive the damage, given the huge fireball seen exploding from it in the spoiler images.
But there's other explosive scenes to come too, with it teased secrets and lies will make it a Christmas the characters will never forget.
Producer Kate Brooks said: "It's not just the Woolpack that goes up in flames on Christmas Day, as secrets and lies explode, ripping through the lives of some of our much loved villagers and making it a Christmas they'll never forget."
It comes after soap bosses revealed there would be a special flashback on Christmas Day, revealing what leads to the events.
ITV confirmed last month, while teasing drama during the festive episode: "The Emmerdale villagers awake to a thin dusting of what appears to be snow on Christmas morning but is all as it seems?
"Soon we flashback to the hours that preceded this flurry and understand what really happened."
The source added: "Lives are destroyed, families fall apart and betrayal runs deep this winter in Emmerdale.
"With the festive season fast approaching, can families find a way to heal their rifts?
"As the dust clears it is soon apparent this will be a Christmas the villagers will never forget, leaving some things changed forever."
Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7pm on ITV, with an extra episode at 8pm on Thursdays.
