Neighbours releases new Christmas merchandise after show return news
The show's revival was an early Christmas miracle.
Neighbours is celebrating its return by releasing some Christmas merchandise.
The long-running soap was given a lifeline by Amazon Freevee last month after its cancellation earlier this year, and fans can now get their hands on a range of products on the show’s official Amazon page.
Understandably, there are several festive-themed clothes, with 'Bouncing into Christmas', incorporating a picture of Bouncer on the front. Another design of the Labrador Retriever shows him in a 'Tangle with Mrs Mangel' as he's wrapped in Christmas lights.

There's also a holly theme which has the show's logo, and another where the logo is adorned with a Santa Claus hat and Christmas baubles.
All four designs can be applied to a tank top, t-shirt, sweatshirt or hoodie, with prices for the first two products being £16.99. The sweatshirt is available for £29.99, whilst the hoodie can be purchased for £31.99; there are a range of colours available for each product.
Since the announcement of the show's revival, several stars have expressed their delight despite not being sure if they would return for the reboot.

April Rose Pengilly, who played Chloe Brennan, said she would love to return but it would be dependent on the shooting schedule.
"I would love to [return]. But it depends on other projects and the circumstances," she said. "Most of the cast have left Melbourne and don't want to go through moving again, I don't speak for everyone, but I think we're not keen on going back to something like before – it was all-encompassing and exhausting.
"Best case scenario would be something like a normal show, where we'd shoot for just a few months of the year and have some flexibility, But we literally have no info and don't even know if we'll be asked."
Neighbours returns in the second half of 2023 with new episodes streaming free on Amazon Freevee in the UK and US. Network 10 will retain first-run rights in Australia for the new series.
