After a year when we learned to expect the unexpected, The Sunday Post has a twist of its own.
With Christmas Day falling on a Sunday, the newspaper will publish on a Friday for the first time with a festive special on sale for two days, Friday and Christmas Eve.
Simply called The Post, the 104-pages of holiday reading will not feature live news or sport but is instead full of long-reads, seasonal features and fiction, opinion, TV and radio previews, nine-days of listings, puzzles and fun. From Jackie Bird on her New Year resolutions to Kenny Dalglish on Lionel Messi; from short stories by Val McDermid and Alexander McCall Smith to top-flight political insight and commentary; from an important investigation into working conditions at Amazon to the late, great Scottish journalist Ian Jack on Oor Wullie.

Speaking of Wullie, a specially-commissioned strip sees Scotland’s favourite son meeting up with the country’s favourite family, The Broons, and, if anyone is still not feeling Christmassy, an expert team has been assembled to reveal the best ways to get a last-minute boost of seasonal spirit.
Editor Jim Wilson said: “When the other Sundays were enjoying some time off, The Post has been working harder than ever after seeing an opportunity to try something new and deliver quality journalism in a fresh format.
“It should be one of the best editions of the year with content to take readers through Christmas and well into 2023.”
