EastEnders spoilers: WHY are the Mitchell family celebrating Christmas in June?!

EastEnders spoilers, Nicola Mitchell, Barney Mitchell.

The Mitchell family could do with some cheering-up on EastEnders (7:30pm - see our TV Guide for listings).

It's been a dramatic couple of months for the family.

During which, Nicola Mitchell (played by Laura Doddington) was exposed as the killer of her eldest son Harry's (Elijah Holloway) former girlfriend, Shireen.

While teenage son Barney (Lewis Bridgeman) discovered Zack Hudson (James Farrar) is his biological dad, shortly after his own family tried to cover-up Zack's "drowning" in a lake!

On today's episode of the BBC soap, Nicola hits upon the idea of resurrecting the family's 'Half Christmas' tradition, where they get festive in June!

Nicola hopes it will cheer-up Barney, who remains conflicted over his loyalty to his long-time dad Teddy (Roland Manookian), when he now knows Zack's true identity.

But just like an actual Christmas in Walford, it all threatens to kick-off when Teddy arrives and delivers some brutal home truths...
