As we do on Early Release Days, we’re starting with what’s coming this week and then diving into what’s coming next week.

The Young and the Restless spoilers: Billy celebrates with his kids

So on Wednesday, December 24, Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) and Sally were visited by Katie Newman (Sienna McCurry), Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle), and Johnny Abbott (Paxton Mishkind), who also brought along a small Charlie Brown Christmas tree. A little sad. Kinda cute. They had no decorations, nothing. So Sally popped some popcorn and taught Billy’s kids how to skewer it.

This is what Sally did at Christmas time, when Christmas was meager and the entire Christmas tree was harvested. Johnny asked Abbott Communications relatively Newman Media What’s the difference? Billy said they had integrity and would not attack others with lies and speculation. But Johnny, as a child, had to remind his father that he gambled away Jabbert. Remember that terrible yacht name? Billy admits it was a mistake, but he also learned from it and believes Sally was good for him.

The Young and the Restless spoilers: Sally worries about Billy

As Billy walks out of the room with the kids, Victoria and Sally discuss Billy’s big changes, which they both hope are legal. They worry he’s angry with Jill Abbott (Jesse Walton) and Victor Newman (Eric Braeden). Victoria entirely attributed his newfound calmness to Sally, and she did think that Billy really cared about her.

Sally admits to Victoria that Billy reminds her of her father, who was also a gambler who would lose big money and then start drinking when he failed, and then he would evaporate. Sally said she went to pick up her dad again and again. So, Victoria wonders if Sally is doing the same thing as Billy to save him. He overhears a conversation between his exes, in which Sally tells Victoria that her father has failed her. One Christmas he promised her a sewing machine, but not only did she not get it, but her father completely gave up on her at Christmas.

She told Victoria that Billy had made a commitment Abbott Communications They were fitful and full of disappointment. Sally tells Victoria that Billy has let her down again and she can’t survive. Sally then said she was sorry for dumping her trauma on Victoria, but she was glad Sally shared it. The kids made a tinfoil star for the tree, and then they set off with Victoria, and Billy told Sally how grateful he was to have her, and they started kissing.

Victor and Nikki’s tense Christmas truce: The gifts and ghosts of Christmases past

Meanwhile, Victor is surprised to see Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) at her New Ranch home. He thought she wouldn’t be there. She reminds Victor that it’s Christmas Eve. He reminds Nikki that she said she was leaving him. She tells Victor she’s still angry, but Christmas is about family and that’s why she’s home.

Nikki thought back to their first Christmas in the house in New Ranch. She said, you know, Claire Grace Newman (Haley Erin) is finally home and Cole is alive. Victor wants a truce over the holidays, and Nikki agrees but insists that what he did to Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) was wrong and she won’t change her mind.

Victor got her a gift, which Nikki said wouldn’t change her mind, but it was pretty impressive. This is a ruby ​​and diamond necklace that belonged to Marie Antoinette’s mother. Victor is happy that she likes it, but Nikki again says she won’t change her mind. Victor claims he just wants a happy Christmas.

Nikki’s touching gift to Victor on Y&R

Nikki gave Victor a gift, a personal diary of a German philosopher I had never heard of. Nikki and Victor talked about the many Christmases they had spent over the years. We recall Christmases past when young Nicky brought a small tree to Victor and said it looked like Scrooge was living in his house.

Victor tells Nikki how much the tree means to him and talks about how his mother left him in an orphanage when he was seven because she couldn’t provide for him after his dad left. Victor then talks about how when he had nothing as a child, he was amazed at all the blessings he has now. They kiss and the moment is sweet, but I predict the war will start again in the new year.

Jack and Diane’s romantic Christmas: lavish gifts and naughty plans

Diane Jenkins (Susan Walters) greets Jack at the mansion with eggnog and a kiss, and she jokes that Victor gave them a nightmare before Christmas, but she just wants to forget it all tonight. Everyone else was out, but Jack wanted to be naughty. Diane talks about how much Jack has given her, how much she loves him, and says she has everything she could ever want, which is another chance for Jack and her son, Kyle Abbott (Michael Miller). The love of her life, all of it.

They exchange gifts. Diane buys Jack a first edition of Max Factor’s autobiography. If you don’t know his name, he was a major figure in film makeup at the time. Diane says the guy reminds her of John Abbott (Jerry Douglas), and Jack gives Diane a necklace that once belonged to Coco Chanel. So, yeah, Jack and Victor both got Nikki and Diane’s historical jewelry, they got these guys’ history books, and there were kisses everywhere.

The Young and the Restless weekly spoilers: Christmas reruns and New Year’s drama

We have a repeat on Christmas Day, Thursday 25th December the young and the restless. We’ll revisit Victor’s experience of being treated by Ebenezer Scrooge during his past three visits. This episode originally aired on December 23, 2010.

We’re back with something new on Friday, December 26, as Michael Baldwin (Christian Jules LeBlanc) and Lauren Fenmore (Tracy Bregman) discuss the pros and cons of helping the Abbott family. Lauren decided it was more important to keep the AI ​​away from Victor than he might be angry at Michael for going behind his back to help Jack and Diane.

Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) is stunned when Chelsea Lawson (Melissa Claire Egan) gives him an ultimatum. she might want to leave Newman Media Otherwise she felt very uncomfortable with what Victor was asking them to do. I wonder if Adam will try to dissuade Chelsea.

We know he has some serious daddy issues and when he gets Victor’s approval, he can’t stop now. Billy and Jack get some important information from Sally. So, she and Adam are chatting this week and I think he might be using Sally as a go-between to throw a lifeline to the Abbotts because Adam knows he can trust Sally.

New Year’s Day Spoilers: Unhinged Matt, Newman’s Guilt and Abbott’s Crackdown Plot

During the week of December 29th to January 2nd, we have the young and the restless New Year’s replay. This is an episode from the Vault that’s almost 30 years old. Honestly, I can’t wait to see this. In 1998, Katherine Chancellor (Jenny Cooper) is throwing a big party, and Jill crashes it in order to cause trouble.

Plus, when we return to the new episodes, Matt Clark is completely crazy and Sienna Bacall (Tamara Braun) is petrified. Michael and Adam struggled with their own feelings of guilt, both wanting to help Jack without attracting Victor’s attention if possible. They’re on a tight leash, and of course, we know Mustache will discover the truth.

Claire won’t let up on her plot to take down Audra Charles (Zureka Silver) and Kyle, and Brough may have some information for her. Sally and Billy are excited Abbott Communications, But worried about Victor, artificial intelligence, and what’s going on with Jabot. Victor and Nikki took a truce over Christmas, but their battle will likely play out like Donkey Kong again in the new year, unless something big changes.

Phyllis’ dangerous AI heist and family drama unfold

Daniel Romulotti (Michael Graziardi) still keeps a close eye on his mother, Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford). Daniel had a keen eye on her because he knew that she Jabot Risking his own life, he stole Kane Ashby’s (Billy Flynn) artificial intelligence and gave it to Victor. But Phyllis really wanted Jack to give Marchetti Summer Newman (Alison Lanier) will let her kids cut loose on her. I do think that will happen. I’m just not sure Phyllis will follow through on her promise.

Noah Newman (Lucas Adams) is determined to sacrifice everything to save Sienna, but his parents don’t like it. Noah is making reckless emotional choices that could once again put his life in danger. Phyllis prepares to hunt down the AI ​​and steal it back. But I worry that Victor’s technical team may have put guardrails in place because he may have expected Phyllis to attempt this move.
