The yuletide season was full of magic for the stars of GENERAL HOSPITAL, THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL, THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS, and DAYS OF OUR LIVES! From visits with Santa to road trips to see family, church services and spending time with their loved ones, many stars shared moments from their Christmas celebrations on social media.

For example, Michelle Stafford (Phyllis, Y&R) filmed her kids, Natalia and Jameson, walking down the stairs on Christmas morning and opening the piles of presents left behind by Santa. “Happy Christmas morning,” she captioned the sweet video, set to the iconic song “Christmas Time is Here” by the Vince Guaraldi Trio.
