'Tis the season to 'get in the spirit for Ghostmas'! Ghosts Season 5 Christmas Special (Episodes 9-10) is titled "It's a Wonderful Christmas Carol'' and will air on CBS on December 18. A day later, you can also catch the episodes on Paramount+.

While all sitcoms are gearing up for Holiday-themed episodes before commencing their annual Winter breaks, fans are most excited about CBS' spooky sitcom. Christmas is always special at the Woodstone Mansion, as the holiday is celebrated with food, drinks, laughter, and a handful of invisible roommates who possess the living this time around.

The 2025 Christmas Special will feature the return of the sitcom's main ensemble cast, namely Rose McIver, Utkarsh Ambudkar, Devan Chandler Long, Román Zaragoza, Brandon Scott Jones, Rebecca Wisocky, Sheila Carrasco, Richie Moriarty, Asher Grodma,n and Danielle Pinnock.

Will Ghosts Season 5 Christmas Special feature another good ol-fashioned possession? If yes, which historic Woodstone spirit will possess a living during the upcoming Holidays?

Find out all the details here.


Ghosts Season 5 Christmas Special is an upcoming hour-long episode

Continuing its beloved Holiday tradition from past seasons, Ghosts Season 5 will air a two-parter for its 2025 Christmas Special. The upcoming Episodes 9-10 are titled "It's a Wonderful Christmas Carol: Part One & Part Two'', which will air consecutively on CBS on December 18 at 9 PM Eastern Time (ET) and 8 PM Central Time (CT). Ghostmas will air at a special time slot of 9 p.m. (as opposed to the usual 8:30 p.m.)

Cord-cutters are in luck as they can live-stream the upcoming Christmas special on the CBS app/website or on platforms like FuboTV, SlingTV or DirecTV. However, the best alternative to stream new episodes of Ghosts Season 5 is on Paramount+, CBS' official streaming partner. You can either live-stream the episode via Paramount+ Showtime or catch it a day later via Paramount+ Essential.


Ghosts Season 5 Christmas Special: Which Woodstone spirit will possess Sam?

As per tradition from its past seasons, the fifth season of Ghosts will also air a double-parter. The logline for both episodes reads as follows:

Episode 9: Sam's big Christmas Eve TV interview with Walter Storm takes an unexpected turn; Trevor and Patience bond over their mutual disinterest in celebrating Christmas.
Episode 10: Sam gets a glimpse of what her life would be like if she could never see the ghosts.

The synopsis and preview for Episode 9 confirm that Ghosts Season 5 will continue its annual Christmas tradition of possession. Like the previous Christmas specials, which saw Nancy & Thor possess Sam and Pete possess Jay, the upcoming installment will feature our very own hippie spirit, Flower, possessing Sam right before an important TV interview on Christmas Eve.

While Ghosts has featured many possessions to date, Flower is an interesting choice. Our perpetually naive and forgetful hippie can put a living person into a hallucinogenic high whenever she passes through them. Top this ghost power with possession, and we have a laugh fest. Since Sam will likely get possessed before her big TV interview, the 2025 Christmas will be another chaotic festival at Woodstone.

Additionally, the synopsis for Ghosts Season 5 Episode 10 teases an alternate reality, a world where Sam is unable to see the Woodstone spirits. While possessions are an annual Christmas thing for the spooky sitcom, it will be interesting to see how the show will pull off the alternative reality angle.

Fans can expect another chaotic, emotional, and wild ride with the Woodstone spirits before the sitcom leaves us for its annual Winter hiatus.

Tune in to the Ghosts Season 5 Christmas Special on CBS on December 18.
