Coronation Street spoilers follow.

Coronation Street's Abi Webster is in for an emotional Christmas this year, as she receives a surprise gift from her late son Seb Franklin.

Corrie viewers have already seen Abi's husband Kevin secretly organise a gift that was initially planned by Seb before his tragic death, and now Sally Carman has opened up about her character's "gorgeous" surprise this festive season.

Tissues at the ready, folks.

"Christmas Day is tricky for her. She is not allowing herself to think about anything other than Jack," Sally said, admitting that Abi is reluctant to dwell on what she's lost and instead "concentrates on making new memories" with stepson Jack and Kevin.

After a hiccup with the turkey on Christmas Day, Abi has a "meltdown", but is reassured when Kevin tells her that they can have beans on toast if they like, as none of it really matters as long as they're all together.

"And then there is a knock at the door," Sally teased, hinting at the moment Seb's final gift for his mum arrives on the cobbles.

"She doesn't want to see anyone but Kevin goes to the door and returns with a present for her – and what is more it is a present that Seb arranged before he died, and that Kevin has seen through and organised," the actress continued.

"For once Abi is lost for words and can't believe that Seb has sent this present from the grave. She is crying and it is a really gorgeous moment after the year she has had."

What will Seb's gift be?

Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 7.30pm on ITV.
