Holiday Reruns Airing on CBS
Y&R on Christmas 2025
Christmas Eve’s episode of Y&R saw Victor (Eric Braeden) and Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) rediscovering the true meaning of the holiday. And today, in a throwback to 2010, CBS has gone into the vault to pull out the soap’s version of A Christmas Carol. 15 years ago, Victor was visited by the ghosts of Christmas past. Of course, this was to teach him a lesson through reflection on his actions. Obviously, this didn’t stick; it never does, but it still makes for a good holiday episode.
B&B on Christmas 2025
This year’s Christmas episode on B&B, which aired on December 24, saw Eric (John McCook) and Donna (Jennifer Gareis) pulling off a holiday surprise with Forresters young and old enjoying the season together. But the rerun that’s airing today is a reminder that the whole family doesn’t always get to be with one another during the holiday.
CBS is revisiting 2024’s Christmas, which saw the Forresters and Logans celebrating apart due to Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) and Hope (Annika Noelle) stealing the company from Eric, Ridge (Thorsten Kaye), and Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood). While it’s certainly not a tense affair as the separate gatherings do have laughter and holiday cheer, there is definitely an elephant in the room.
Is Y&R new tomorrow? (December 26, 2025)
Yes! Y&R will be moving full steam ahead with the holiday behind it on Friday’s episode, so fans will get to enjoy what happens next on the soap. According to this week’s spoilers, Sally (Courtney Hope) will be sharing valuable information with Jack (Peter Bergman) and Billy (Jason Thompson). Perhaps it’s something that can help the Abbotts now that they’re in dire straits.
Additionally, Michael (Christian Le Blanc) will rely on Lauren (Tracy Bregman) as he navigates a difficult decision. And Chelsea’s (Melissa Claire Egan) closing out the year by giving Adam (Mark Grossman) an ultimatum. He’s prone to getting in his own way and making a mess of things; she might be trying to head him off at the pass before he (once again) goes a step too far.
Is B&B new tomorrow? (December 26, 2025)
Yes, B&B is new as well! However, they’re not quite done with the holiday. The spoilers for tomorrow’s episode put Steffy and Finn (Tanner Novlan) at Will’s (Crew Morrow) beach house, where they’re toasting to the merriest season, along with the Spencer heir, Electra (Laneya Grace), and Dylan (Sydney Bullock).
Meanwhile, Donna will attempt to remain the cooler head among the Logans as she aims to ease tensions between Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Katie (Heather Tom). It seems that Katie’s launch of a fashion house has disrupted the usual dynamic between the sisters.
