The Young and the Restless spoilers reveal there is no new episode airing on Christmas Day. So, what is happening on Friday, December 26, 2025?

Expect Michael Baldwin (Christian LeBlanc) to face temptation. Meanwhile, Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope) gives the Abbott family some shocking intel.

Keep reading and let’s talk about what is coming up in the CBS soap opera. (Make sure to check out our WEEKLY Y&R spoilers, here!)

Christmas Day Programming Note

For the Christmas holiday, there will be a repeat airing on Christmas Day. However, don’t worry as a brand-new episode will air the very next day, on Friday, December 26.

If you are interested in the repeat, it is from 2010. In the old episode, Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) is haunted by some old ghosts.

Chelsea Lawson’s Fury

Let’s start off with Chelsea Lawson (Melissa Claire Egan), who will have a demand for Adam Newman (Mark Grossman).

Although Chelsea knew working under Victor at Newman Media would be complicated, she thought she would get at least a heads-up about attacks. Chelsea was left at the launch party alone to handle the fallout.

Chelsea might have reached her limit when it comes to Victor’s shenanigans. The woman might give Adam an ultimatum.

Sally Spectra’s Shocking Intel

The Young and the Restless spoilers for the next episode reveal that Adam will have a tense run-in with Sally.

Apparently, Sally ends up scoring some major intel for Jack and Billy. That will lead to this new information helping Jack and Billy strategize on what to do next.

Michael Baldwin’s Dilemma

At Crimson Lights, expect Michael to have a chat with Lauren Fenmore Baldwin (Tracy E. Bregman). Michael will tell her about Diane Jenkins Abbott’s (Susan Walters) plea. However, Lauren tells Michael that he has to choose whether to betray Victor.

Michael didn’t approve of Victor’s attack on Jack, especially around Christmas. However, betraying Victor comes at a very high price.

Claire Grace Newman’s Connections

There is also Claire Grace Newman (Hayley Erin). The woman scheming with Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) is tricky. While Claire is trying to stand up for herself, she’s also edging on dangerous territory.

I’m not worried about what Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver) will do to Claire. Rather, I’m concerned that Claire could turn into her Aunt Jordan (Colleen Zenk) if pushed too far!

It’s always the innocent ones you have to worry about, so stay tuned to find out what’s going to happen next!
