Holiday-themed episodes are planned to close December for all four CBS soap operas: The Young and the Restless, The Bold and the Beautiful, As The World Turns and Guiding Light.

On The Young and the Restless, as a snowstorm strands the residents of Genoa City with unlikely partners, David surprises Nikki with an unexpected proposal. Victor turns the tables on Nikki and Kay, while Sharon makes a decision about her future with Jack, who gets a surprise visit from his sister, Ashley.

Meanwhile, on The Bold and the Beautiful, Christmas is a time for soul searching for Stephanie, while Eric tries to bring his family together for the holiday. Brooke arrives, ready to forgive Stephanie for her part in putting Brooke's father in prison - and the Forrester family happily reunites.

Let's head over to As The World Turns: Gwen and Will receive the ultimate Christmas present in the form of their new daughter. The Hughes family gathers to celebrate the holiday in Bob's hospital room and pray for a Christmas miracle, while Jack isn't feeling goodwill towards man when he warns Sam to stay away from his family.

Finally, on Guiding Light, Will finds a way to trap last-minute shoppers in the mall so that he can have his mother, Cassie, all to himself. While stuck there, Josh and Reva share a holiday tradition and end up tighter than before. Olivia kisses Gus, and Beth goes into labor with Alan at her side.
