As announced last week, after the successful launch of the Days of our Lives: Beyond Salem limited series in September, Peacock has ordered Days of our Lives: A Very Salem Christmas, the first holiday movie from the daytime drama. Additional casting has been revealed for the series, including Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and The Young and the Restless star Eileen Davidson and longtime star Alison Sweeney.
Alison Sweeney will reprise her over two-decade role as Sami Brady DiMera, bringing the fan-favorite troublemaker, who doesn’t let anything stand in the way of getting what she wants, back to Salem.
Days of our Lives: A Very Salem Christmas follows Will Horton (played by Daytime Emmy winner Chandler Massey) as he writes a screenplay before his Christmas Eve deadline. Using everyone’s favorite feel-good holiday movie tropes, he creates a festive story based on his family and friends in Salem — but with several twists and turns you’ll never see coming. The film will air December 16 exclusively on Peacock.
