The Young and the Restless (Y&R) spoilers for the next two weeks, December 22 to January 2, reveal that Michael Baldwin (Christian LeBlanc) will weigh his options as he faces a traitor choice. Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn) will also be dealt a crushing blow while all the Matt Clark aka “Mitch Bacall” (Roger Howarth) chaos gets even worse.

During the week of December 22-26, both Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) and Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) will voice concerns about Claire Newman’s (Hayley Erin) link to Holden Novak (Nathan Owens).

Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) will also find himself wondering if it’s time to throw in the towel and accept that he no longer has a future with Claire.

As for Victor, he’ll dig his heels in when it comes to targeting Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman).

Claire won’t get on board with this nasty side of her grandpa, but Victor will think Jack is the one who’s charmed people into thinking he’s a good guy.

Now that Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) has threatened to leave Victor if he doesn’t give her the AI program, the news will spread to Victoria, Claire and Jack.

While everyone buzzes about the possibility of Victor and Nikki divorcing, there’ll be more Matt drama to contend with.

Noah Newman (Lucas Adams) was attacked and Sienna Bacall (Tamara Braun) was snatched by Annie Stewart (Catherine Kresge), so Noah will strategize with Nick and Sharon Newman (Sharon Case) as he frets over Sienna’s safety.

While Nick tries to force a move from Matt, Lily Winters (Christel Khalil) will reel after discovering Cane and Phylis Summers (Michelle Stafford) in a rather compromising position.

That could lead to Lily unleashing her wrath and leaving Cane frustrated over yet another setback on their path to a renewed romance.

Christmas Eve will ultimately arrive in Genoa City, which will give Jack and Diane Jenkins Abbott (Susan Walters) a chance to focus on how blessed they are despite all the Victor madness.

Over with Victor and Nikki, they’ll learn a thing or two about the meaning of Christmas.

Even if they can’t work through their conflict yet, Nikki and Victor will at least get a reminder about the power of love this holiday season.

At Billy Abbott’s (Jason Thompson) place, he’ll be there with Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope) when Victoria brings Johnny Abbott (Paxton Mishkind) and Katie Abbott (Sienna Mercuri) over for some tree-trimming fun.

Although the show will offer up a classic 2010 episode on Thursday, December 25, they’ll be right back with a brand-new episode on Friday, December 26.

After Sally uncovers some intel that Jack and Billy could use to their advantage, she’ll fill them in.

Sally will also clash with Adam Newman (Mark Grossman), who’ll eventually land on the receiving end of Chelsea Lawson’s (Melissa Claire Egan) ultimatum.

Chelsea may threaten to leave Newman Media unless Adam starts putting his foot down on stories that cross the line.

Adam may argue there’s no way he can push back against Victor, so Chelsea may think he should just depart the company right along with her.

Even if that’s not something Adam’s willing to do, Chelsea may make it clear that she’ll walk if they continue to be Victor’s puppets.

At the coffeehouse, Lauren Fenmore Baldwin (Tracey E. Bregman) will help Michael decide whether he’s willing to double-cross Victor and try to shut down his AI threat for good.

The week of December 29-January 2 will bring more Matt confrontations and some Sienna updates.

Nick won’t rest until Matt is either behind bars or in a grave, but he’d honestly prefer the latter!

However, Matt will have some disturbing plans to carry out before his time in Genoa City is over.

It seems like Matt’s just getting started and will have some scary power plays that’ll affect multiple Newman family members.

Since New Year’s Eve is just around the corner, that could bring some parties and midnight kisses around town.

The show will air a 1998 encore episode on Thursday, January 1, but they’ll resume the current action with a new episode on Friday, January 2.

The Young and the Restless spoilers say the next two weeks will be packed with drama, so stay tuned!
