"THE PRICE IS RIGHT" CELEBRATES A WEEK OF ORIGINAL HOLIDAY EPISODES, AND A NEW RECORD FOR PLINKO WINNINGS IS SET

            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, GUIDING LIGHT and THE PRICE IS RIGHT.

            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, and Sharon makes a decision about her future with Jack, who gets a surprise visit from his sister, Ashley.

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.  The day is complete when Brooke arrives, ready to forgive Stephanie for her part in putting Brooke's father in prison and the Forrester family happily reunites.

On 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.  And in a special episode, a turn of the 20^th Century dollhouse comes to life and depicts the residents of Oakdale in situations that may or may not be reminiscent of their own. 

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 closer together.  Olivia kisses Gus, and Beth goes into labor, with Alan at her side.

THE PRICE IS RIGHT gets into the festive spirit and is decorated for the holidays with Christmas-themed showcases Dec. 18-21, Dec. 24-25 and a new record for Plinko winnings is set.
