Young and the Restless Spoilers December 23: Victor Is the Spirit of Christmas

The Young and the Restless spoilers for Monday, December 23, put Victor front and center as he lectures all of Genoa City on the true meaning of Christmas—Newman-style.

Do As I Say, Not as I Do

Victor (Eric Braeden) knows how everyone should live, and when they stray off the given path, he rains down fire and brimstone on them. Victor knows all. He is good, he is kind, he is benevolent. And he is here to teach everyone how to be just like him.

This is why, come Christmas Day, Victor is there to encourage people to be generous to our fellow man, to eschew material things, and to not commit adultery. He stands in his newly redesigned luxury living room, surrounded by children from various affairs and relationships, and plots to destroy Jack (Peter Bergman)—just like he should be at Christmas.

We’ll see what Claire (Hayley Erin), Victoria (Amelia Heinle), Cole (J. Eddie Peck), and Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) experience with Victor with the first Christmas at the newly rebuilt ranch.

Couple Time

Lauren (Tracey Bregman) and Michael (Christian Le Blanc) were planning on a quiet family celebration. But you know what they say about the best-laid plans of mice and men?

Anyway, can anyone really hope for a Silent Night when Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) is on the warpath? She told Daniel (Michael Graziadei) she was going to chill out. But how can she when someone, somewhere isn’t doing everything they can to make Phyllis happy?

Who Can That Be Knocking at My Door?

Sharon’s (Sharon Case) life has been a roller-coaster ride for months now. She’s been chatting with Dead Cameron (Linden Ashby), she’s been blacking out, and she’s been thinking she committed murder and vehicular driving off the road-cide.

First, Sharon remembered that she wasn’t responsible for Phyllis’ accident. Then she recalled, under hypnosis, that she didn’t kill Heather (Vail Bloom) either. So it should be smooth sailing from then on, right? Not so fast, Sharon… Guess who’s come a-knocking?
