As a seasoned movie critic with a soft spot for British comedy, I must say that the Gavin & Stacey 2024 Christmas special was nothing short of a delightful rollercoaster ride. With its witty dialogue and heartfelt moments, it truly encapsulated the spirit of the original series.
*Warning: Gavin & Stacey Christmas episode spoilers ahead*
Fans of Gavin & Stacey held their breath in anticipation during tonight’s series finale, watching as Smithy (played by James Corden) seemed to realize, maybe a bit too late, that he had been loving someone other than the one truly meant for him.
Five long years have passed since the heartwarming reunion special of 2019, where we found Nessa (played by Ruth Jones) taking a leap of faith and proposing to the father of her child. Their rollercoaster romance has seen its ups and downs, but the question remains unanswered: will they finally commit? Let’s find out in this latest episode!
In a well-known twist, the scene ended abruptly just as Smithy was about to respond. This unspoken moment was later unfolded in the 2024 Christmas special, where Gavin (played by Mathew Horne) unexpectedly made his appearance instead.
Cue Nessa coming up with a hysterical excuse as to why she was kneeling on the ground.
2024’s Christmas special synopsis hinted at an upcoming wedding, but didn’t specify who the happy couple would be.
Without a doubt, the first five minutes of the episode held an unexpected twist for the audience. However, it’s reasonable to assume that everything will turn out favorably, just as everyone had hoped.
Here’s your full overview of the exhilarating ending to the Gavin & Stacey 2024 Christmas special – which also serves as the grand finale to this celebrated sitcom. Spoiler alert!
Gavin & Stacey 2024 Christmas special ending explained
Approaching the finale of the 2024 Gavin & Stacey Christmas special, it seems that Smithy is determined to wed his fiancee Sonia, despite the fact that his friends and relatives harbor a hidden distaste for her.
Despite the fact that he didn’t provide a definitive response to Nessa’s proposition, she has virtually let go of their romantic relationship and plans to rejoin her duties on a freight vessel as a means to clarify her thoughts.
Everyone else is present for the significant occasion, yet there seems to be a general lack of enthusiasm, as even Stacey and Pam appear rather apprehensive regarding the forthcoming union.
As a movie buff, I’d naturally want to smooth over any uncertainties, afraid that bringing them up might stir up a dramatic storm. So, in my role as the best man, I’m tempted to quietly tuck those doubts away, rather than risk causing a scene by subtly mentioning them to the groom directly.
But in the end, his worry gets the better of him and Gavin disrupts the wedding at a most inopportune moment, just as he’s supposed to be handing over the wedding rings.
In an unexpected turn, even the ceremony’s official (portrayed by Anna Maxwell Martin from Motherland) appears taken aback. She subsequently requests that those present who disagree with the upcoming marriage, please rise.
At first reluctant, Smithy’s family members such as his son, Neil the Baby, and his mentor Mick, all eventually voice their worries by standing up gravely from their seats.
Sonia finds herself both angry and bewildered by the current events, as she had carefully arranged her day in advance. On the other hand, this situation serves as a wake-up call for Smithy.
Up until this point, he hasn’t noticed the warning signs in their relationship – signs like Sonia not wanting to socialize with those he cherishes, her extravagant requests for the wedding, and subtle insults, such as implying that he’s dating someone out of his league.
However, when the ceremony turned into a protest, it became crystal clear to him, and he recognized that his affection for Sonia had never matched the intensity of his love for Nessa.
Instead of calling it “breaking things off at the altar”, we could say that “Smithy and his group hurriedly boarded Dave’s bus in a rush to reach Southampton dockyard, aiming to intercept Nessa before her long six-month journey on the sea began.
Despite encountering various hurdles en route, they manage to arrive just in the knick of time. As Nessa was about to embark on a vessel, Smithy shared all his feelings with her.
He concludes by asking her to propose to him again, but she refuses, saying that she only ever asks once. So, he takes it upon himself to pop the question instead – and the answer is yes.
The tale concludes with the informal, understated wedding of Nessa and Smithy, where the couple opted against a final kiss after the service, reminiscent of a humorous reference from the initial show, as they’ve never kissed in the past.
Everyone from the group gathered at the reception for a lively celebration, taking turns drinking, dancing, and singing karaoke. The night ended on a high note as they all posed for a jubilant group picture.
This conclusion might not shock everyone, but it’ll certainly bring joy to longtime fans who have watched these characters unfold across multiple screen appearances.
