Text Santa 2012 : A Christmas Corrie A Christmas Corrie was a sketch created for ITV ' s second annual " Text Santa " fundraising evening , broadcast on 21st December 2012 to raise money for six UK charities . The story was based on Charles Dickens ' classic novel " A Christmas Carol " , and featured several deceased characters returning as ghosts visiting Norris Cole in the role of the Street ' s own Scrooge . The sketch was broadcast in two eight - minute parts during the main " Text Santa " programme on ITV1 at 8pm , and repeated later the same evening in a highlights show at midnight . The mini - episode was written by Simon Crowther , Damon Rochefort , Susan Oudot and Julie Jones , directed by Kay Patrick , and produced by Kate Oates . Plot . On Christmas Eve , Gary Windass and Chesney Brown dress as elves to help Tina McIntyre , Stella and Eva Price raise money for a worthy cause at the Rovers ' festive fundraising party . Everyone gives generously with one exception - Norris Cole , who prefers to attend a swanky WARTS ' affair for self - promotion purposes , and orders Rita and Dennis Tanner to stay late at The Kabin to complete a stock - take by counting sherbet pips . Dev Alahan and Ryan Connor share DJ duties as the street party gathers momentum and Torvill & Dean drop by for a dance . Later , tucked up in bed at No . 3 , Norris is disturbed by the noise from the festivities and awaits the arrival of the police who close down the Rovers indefinitely , arresting Stella for having no licence for the party . Satisfied , Norris returns to bed but is startled by the appearance of a ghostly Mike Baldwin who warns him of further visitors throughout the night , all aiming to change Norris ' s curmudgeonly ways . First is Maxine Peacock , the Ghost of Christmas Past , who takes Norris back to Christmas Eve 1948 to see himself as a young boy disappointing his mother and grandparents by refusing to give a group of carol - singing orphans any money . Next , Derek Wilton , the Ghost of Christmas Present , shows Norris the misery he has created in the Windass and Grimshaw households by getting the Rovers closed down on Christmas Day 2012 . Finally , the Ghost of Christmases - to - Come - in the form of Vera Duckworth - shows Norris a future Christmas where the residents gather to celebrate Norris ' s death at a wake in the Rovers . Upset by seeing all his neighbours - plus close friends Rita and Emily Bishop - rejoicing in his demise proves the last straw for Norris . Back in the present , Christmas Day dawns and Norris is reborn , dropping his complaint to the police , securing Stella ' s release from the cells and allowing the Rovers to reopen for business . The residents are amazed when Norris giddily declares that he ' s discovered the true meaning of Christmas and all their drinks are on him .
