The CBS Daytime schedule will celebrate the season with holiday-themed episodes in December on THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS, THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL, AS THE WORLD TURNS, THE PRICE IS RIGHT and LET'S MAKE A DEAL.

On THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS, romance is in the air for the holidays; Emily tells Jack that she is in love with him; Adam and Sharon declare their amorous feelings to each other; Paul and Nina share a kiss; and Gloria and Jill have a rivalry over Tucker's affections.  Meanwhile, Nikki returns to Genoa City in time to celebrate Christmas, Traci and Abby surprise Ashley, and Billy stuns everyone with news about Mac.  In a special stand-alone episode on Thursday, Dec. 31, Billy is forced to look at the direction his life is heading when he has a New Year's Eve epiphany.

On THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL, Christmas Eve turns out to be truly special in many unanticipated ways. Nick and Jackie invite the entire Jackie M. company and their families to have the biggest, merriest Christmas blowout that any ragtag group has ever had.  Jackie and Owen, Nick and Bridget and Ridge and Brooke all celebrate their first Christmas Eve as husbands and wives.  Bridget gives special thanks to Sandy and the miracle gift that she is giving her.  Stephanie reflects upon her Christmases past, including her dear friend Sally Spectra, and comes to realize that there is no place that she would rather be than where she is in Christmas present - with her new family at Jackie M.

On AS THE WORLD TURNS, Santa helps Brad's ghost connect with his loved ones and share a special Christmas Eve with Katie and their new baby.  Carly and Jack share Christmas Eve together while Janet finds comfort in the arms of Dusty.  Lucinda and Emma conspire to bring Lily and Holden together for the holiday, and Luke is delighted when Noah returns home for the holiday.

THE PRICE IS RIGHT gets into the festive spirit with themed decorations and showcases featuring big holiday prizes during the episodes airing Dec. 21-24.  LET'S MAKE A DEAL host Wayne Brady makes a special appearance on PRICE, Monday, Dec. 21, to appear in a special showcase giving away prizes such as a trip to Las Vegas and tickets to DEAL.  On Thursday, Dec. 31, PRICE will air a New Year's Eve show which will include favorite prizes from 2009 and New Year's Eve themed showcases.
