On Monday and Tuesday, new episodes air with the Newmans celebrating Christmas at the ranch house, but are missing a key family member. Meanwhile, elsewhere on the property, Sharon has unexpected — and unwelcome — company. Some of the Abbotts also receive a surprise, but whether or not they accept the gift remains to be seen.

On Tuesday this week (Christmas Eve), General Hospital fans will be shown an encore episode as well. However, unlike the CBS shows, it’s not a previous Christmas episode; this one aired on May 22, 2024. On the episode, Alexis is thrown for a loop, Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) issues a warning to Sonny (Maurice Benard), Ava (Maura West) gets key intel, and Kristina (Kate Mansi) makes an offer.

On Wednesday (Christmas Day), General Hospital is pre-empted for ABC sports coverage. New episodes will resume on Thursday, December 26.

While some beloved family members will be noticeably absent from the Christmas traditions, fans won’t see a change in the schedule this week — all five days will have new episodes airing.

However, the storylines will continue in Salem time. It will be Christmas Eve in Salem when it’s actually Christmas Day in the U.S., and likewise, Salem’s Christmas Day will air on what will be Boxing Day in the U.S.
