This year’s Christmas celebration at the Forrester mansion looks a little different. While Eric Forrester (John McCook) traditionally hosts a grand holiday gathering with all his loved ones in attendance, spoilers for the Tuesday, December 24 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful reveal that this year’s party will have a smaller, more intimate feel. And, unfortunately for viewers hoping for a festive family reunion, some familiar faces will be noticeably absent.
A Quiet Christmas at the Forrester Mansion
It’s Christmas in Los Angeles, and for the Forrester family, that usually means a lavish party filled with music, laughter, and the warmth of family. However, this year, Eric will tickle the ivories for a much smaller group of guests. Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang), Hope (Annika Noelle), and her daughter, Katie (Heather Tom), won’t be there, leaving an empty space at the table for some of the show’s most beloved characters. What caused this divide? The tension within the Forrester family is palpable, with old grudges and betrayals casting a shadow over the holiday festivities.
Taylor Sticks Close to Ridge
Among those in attendance is Taylor (Rebecca Budig), who makes no secret of her desire to stay close to Ridge (Thorsten Kaye). After all, with the rift between Ridge and Brooke, Taylor isn’t about to miss the chance to solidify her place in his life. Expect to see her by Ridge’s side throughout the evening, subtly reminding him that she is his true love and the one he should be with. This could be a pivotal moment in their relationship, as Taylor continues to fight for Ridge’s heart.
Pam Brings Holiday Cheer
Of course, no holiday party at the Forrester mansion would be complete without Pam (Alley Mills), who is sure to bring her signature warmth and culinary talents to the table. Pam has always been the heart of the Forrester family, and this year, with so many absent faces, her efforts will be even more appreciated. As the family grapples with betrayal and fractured bonds, Pam’s holiday spirit is sure to be a welcome reprieve.
Donna Stands By Eric
The most surprising attendance, however, is Donna (Jennifer Gareis). As the only Logan at the party, Donna is standing by Eric’s side, choosing family unity over loyalty to her sisters and niece. With tensions running high due to the controversial actions of Hope and Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor), Donna has made it clear that she won’t let anything—including family drama—threaten her marriage to Eric. This move has the potential to cause even more rifts within the Logan family, especially as Donna’s decision to support Eric instead of her own flesh and blood adds another layer to the growing conflict.
A Holiday of Tension and Surprises
The Forrester family’s Christmas party is shaping up to be anything but peaceful. With some key family members absent and others making surprising choices, this holiday celebration is bound to be full of drama and emotion. What will happen when the Forresters come together—seemingly more divided than ever—under one roof? Tune in on December 24 for an unforgettable Christmas episode that’s sure to keep you on the edge of your seat.
Don’t miss the drama of The Bold and the Beautiful this holiday season, where the true gift may just be the unexpected twists and turns that keep everyone guessing!
