Starting Dec. 22, CBS ushers in the holiday season with festive-themed and classic episodes of fan-favorite daytime shows and game programs, including The Price Is Right, Let’s Make a Deal, The Young and the Restless, Beyond the Gates, and The Bold and the Beautiful.
The Price Is Right
The game show celebrates the season with three holiday-filled episodes airing Monday, Dec. 22, through Wednesday, Dec. 24. Hosted by Drew Carey, the shows are packed with eye-popping prizes that feel straight out of Santa’s workshop, from luxury cars to once-in-a-lifetime trips such as a South African safari and magical getaways to Finland and Germany’s famous Christmas markets.
Let’s Make a Deal also gets into the spirit with three cheerful holiday episodes airing Dec. 22–24. Wayne Brady and the gang — Jonathan Mangum, Tiffany Coyne and Cat Gray — bring plenty of festive fun with themed games like Four Santas and a Christmas Countdown calendar, plus a visit from Tiffany Claus. Contestants can score big with prizes that include cash, new vehicles and dream vacations to Switzerland, Paris and New York, along with a special Worldwide Wednesday trip inspired by the cast’s favorite destinations.
The Young and the Restless
Y&R marks the holidays on Wednesday, Dec. 24, as Victor and Nikki Newman are reminded of the true meaning of Christmas, while Jack and Diane enjoy a cozy, romantic night at home. On Thursday, Dec. 25, the show revisits a classic 2010 episode featuring Victor Newman being visited by ghosts of Christmas past.
Then on Thursday, Jan. 1, 2026, another throwback airs from 1998, when Katherine Chancellor hosts an elegant gathering at Chancellor Mansion that is disrupted by her longtime rival, Jill Abbott.
The Bold and the Beautiful
B&B keeps the festive feeling going beginning Wednesday, Dec. 24. Despite facing his retirement, Eric and Donna manage to pull off a heartfelt holiday surprise. Ridge gives Brooke a meaningful gift before joining the family celebration, while Carter and Daphne share a tender moment under the mistletoe. Steffy, Finn, Kelly and Hayes later arrive, and in true Forrester fashion, the family wraps up the evening gathered around the piano singing a Christmas carol.
On Dec. 25, the show re-airs its 2024 Christmas episode, where circumstances force the Forresters and Logans to celebrate apart. On Thursday, Jan. 1, 2026, the series revisits Italy with a fashion-filled episode originally aired in July 2025.
Beyond the Gates
BTG delivers holiday drama with a special episode on Wednesday, Dec. 24, featuring an original song written by series star Clifton Davis. Dani and Andre celebrate their first Christmas together, while a long-buried secret involving Vernon and Sharon is revealed in front of the Dupree family. Ted gets three unexpected holiday visitors, Eva and Izaiah reach a major turning point in their relationship, and emotions run high.
The celebration continues on Tuesday, Dec. 30, with a serenade to welcome 2026 by special guest singer Kenny Lattimore. Meanwhile, sparks fly between Ted and Shanice, much to Leslie’s displeasure, and a serious health crisis leaves the entire Dupree family shaken.
