Fans will also remember the 'Billy Mack' version of Christmas is All Around as well as actress Olivia Olson singing Mariah Carey's iconic All I Want For Christmas Is You during the nativity play towards the end.

Tears will no doubt be shed during the heartbreaking scene when Emma Thompson's Karen discovers her husband Harry's affair.

Emma explained that she drew upon experience for that emotional scene, focusing on her relationship with ex Kenneth Branagh who allegedly had an affair with actress Helena Bonham Carter.

"I had my heart very badly broken by Ken. So I knew what it was like to find the necklace that wasn't meant for me. Well, it wasn't exactly that, but we've all been through it," she explained.
