Meanwhile, Jack's loved ones take drastic measures to help him, someone uncovers Noah's dangerous secret and Billy and Victoria spend a joyous holiday with her son, Reed. Later that week, Tyler's charming behavior towards Lily unnerves Cane.

On THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL, friends and family of the late Stephanie Forrester attempt to move through their grief and keep her traditions of Christmas alive. When they gather at the Forrester Mansion on Monday, Dec. 24 (1:30-2:00 PM, ET; 12:30-1:00 PM, PT), they are met with a great surprise that turns their Christmas upside-down and takes them to a faraway place, filled with Christmas cheer, memories of Stephanie and the power of joy, hope, love and, most importantly, family.

THE TALK, network television's fastest-growing daytime program, is spreading holiday cheer throughout the month by featuring daily December Giveaways showcasing the hottest "must-have" gift items. Each day during the month, one of THE TALK co-hosts will take on a holiday gift-giving role and present a special item the entire studio audience will get to take home. The ladies will get some extra help from CBS Daytime heartthrobs Rob Wilson, THE PRICE IS RIGHT Male Model Search winner, and Texas Battle, star of THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL, who will appear as "Sexy Santas" with their sleighs to reveal the daily item. Also, viewers at home will have a chance to win the items by visiting TheTalk.com.
