Mason struggles as he faces a different family Christmas this year in Hollyoaks

Can he and Cindy come together this Christmas?

Cindy is left feeling deflated when Mason tells her and Dave that he's planning on spending Christmas with his mum, and feels like none of their family wants to spend time with them.

Later, missing his family Christmas traditions, Mason snaps at Cindy and when Felix snaps at Mason, Cindy stands in to protect the teen.

At the Love Boat, Cindy and Mason open up and he thanks her for everything she’s done for his family and for making his dad happy.
