Instead, ITV2 viewers can anticipate fiery fallouts, explosive meltdowns, and chilly confrontations, all in true TOWIE style.
The Only Way Is Essexmas is back for a special 90-minute episode, airing at 9 PM on Monday, December 8th on ITV2 and ITVX.
While there will be intense moments, festive cheer will abound as some of Essex's beloved couples reunite.
Jordan and Sophie are stronger than ever, Diags and Jodie are looking forward to their future, and Joe and Junaid's relationship continues to thrive.
However, it's not all about joy and good wishes, as Freddie and Ella's previously solid friendship has fallen apart.
When the former best friends encounter each other at a Christmas market, will they find a way to reconcile, or will tensions escalate?
As the Essex crew gathers for their festive dinner, the drama will be served hot, accompanied by a few emotional breakdowns.
Conflicts arise between Amy and Joe as they address their issues after months of subtle jabs at one another.
Meanwhile, Sammy and Elma will come face-to-face for the first time since the ex-Love Island star began a new relationship with influencer Ella Burke.
Elsewhere, Harry and Freddie are set to clash in a final showdown, promising to be quite explosive.
Rebecca Kenny-Smith, Creative Director of Unscripted at Objective Entertainment, stated: “This is a spectacular Christmas special to celebrate our 15th anniversary year.
“The extended episode is filled with heartwarming and shocking moments, along with unforgettable surprises that capture the magic of the season… some Christmas wishes truly do come true.”
The special episode follows a particularly dramatic series.
Freddie faced off against former friend Ella Rae Wise after feeling she did not receive enough support from her co-stars while in the Celebrity Big Brother house.
This series also introduced newcomers Livvy and Becks, who made a significant impact.
Junaid attempted to reconcile with ex-pal Dani Imbert, but things did not go as he had hoped, while Sammy and Elma struggled to maintain their friendship post-breakup.
