Channel 5 has released the trailer for the All Creatures Great and Small<\/a> Christmas special, which teases a festive mix-up between James Herriot and Helen Alderson<\/a>, who got engaged in series two.<\/p>\n In the trailer, James is visiting Helen\u2019s family farm, and is concerned to learn that she and her family have been busy preparing for the Christmas festivities they assume he\u2019ll attend.<\/p>\n However, as he tells Helen, he and housekeeper Mrs Hall had assumed that the couple would spend Christmas Day at Skeldale House, along with Siegfried and Tristan.<\/p>\n The Christmas special trailer also teases romance for Tristan, as he decorates the house with mistletoe and shares a kiss with the local barmaid Maddie.<\/p>\n However, All Creatures Great and Small won\u2019t have a Christmas wedding<\/a> between James and Helen this year, despite what viewers might have assumed.<\/p>\n Speaking exclusively to RadioTimes.com<\/a>, Callum Woodhouse (who plays Tristan in the All Creatures Great and Small cast<\/a>) recently said the wedding would take place in the potential third series \u2013 but admitted he thought viewers \u201cmight have expected\u201d the nuptials to take place in the upcoming Christmas special.<\/p>\n \u201cYeah, I was thinking they might have expected [the wedding] as well, to be honest,\u201d he said. However, he added: \u201cI quite like the idea that it\u2019s not straight into the wedding. It\u2019d be quite nice for that to be, you know \u2013 if we are lucky enough to get a series three, then that\u2019s going to be one of the things that happens.\u201d<\/p>\n The series, which airs on Channel 5 in the UK, is based on James Herriot\u2019s real-life memoirs<\/a>\u00a0(real name Alf Wight).<\/p>\n ????Gather round…’All Creatures Great and Small’ returns to @channel5_tv<\/a> for a Christmas special on Christmas Eve at 9pm! ????
