There will be no new episode of The Bold and the Beautiful airing tomorrow, December 25, 2025, and for longtime fans, the reason is both familiar and expected. The show is taking a brief pause in observance of the Christmas holiday, following a long-standing broadcast tradition rather than signaling any scheduling trouble or production issue.
December 25 is one of the few days each year when major daytime soaps typically step aside. CBS, like other broadcast networks, adjusts its daytime lineup on Christmas Day to accommodate holiday programming, special features, and a reduced overall viewership. With many viewers spending time with family or traveling, networks historically avoid premiering new episodes on this date.
Instead of a fresh installment, CBS will air either a previously broadcast episode or alternate holiday programming, depending on regional scheduling. This allows the network to maintain continuity without risking lower live ratings for a brand-new episode that many fans might miss.
Importantly, this one-day break has no impact on the show’s storyline momentum. The Bold and the Beautiful is not on hiatus, and the pause does not indicate a longer interruption. New episodes are expected to resume immediately after the holiday, picking up right where the story left off.
For viewers worried about missing key developments, there’s no cause for concern. Writers typically plan holiday breaks carefully, ensuring that major twists or revelations don’t fall on preempted days. The December 24 episode serves as a natural pause point, with upcoming drama waiting just beyond the holiday.
This scheduling choice also gives cast and crew a brief moment to observe the holiday season, something that’s become increasingly rare in the fast-paced world of daily television production. While the show films weeks in advance, the broadcast pause still reflects an industry-wide nod to Christmas Day.
In short, there’s no new episode on December 25, 2025, simply because it’s Christmas—a tradition that The Bold and the Beautiful has followed for decades. Fans can expect the glamour, drama, and emotional twists to return as soon as the holiday programming wraps up, with no lasting disruption to the storylines they’re invested in.
For now, it’s a short break—and then it’s back to the drama.
