Christmas is all over Salem for today's episode. Claire and Ciara are going at it again and just in time for Christmas eve.

Ciara will have a disagreement with her niece Claire in the middle of hanging the Horton ornaments in their household.

Meanwhile, things are a little different for Chad (Billy Flynn) and Abigail (Marci Miller). It is Christmas, but the two will spend some romantic time together to celebrate the holiday. The two managed to put the whole Andre issue behind and get together.
