Days of Our Lives (DOOL) spoilers for Thursday, December 26, reveal that Ava Vitali (Tamara Braun) will have an assignment for Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols) to tackle. Since Ava is uncertain of who’s been harassing her with texts and warning her away from Brady Black (Eric Martsolf), she may ask Steve to help figure out the truth.

Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols) will probably get updates on Kristen DiMera’s (Stacy Haiduk) denial and agree with Ava about this not being her style.

Kristen is more of an “in your face” kind of gal, so hiding behind an anonymous plot is a little subtle for her.

Someone else is likely sending Ava these mysterious messages, so we’ll see if Steve can get to the bottom of things.

Ava is never going to be Steve’s favorite person, but he cares about her as Tripp Johnson’s (Lucas Adams) mother and won’t want her to get hurt.

Next, Days spoilers say Kristen and Lani Grant (Sal Stowers) will have a sweet reunion at the DiMera mansion.

There’ll be some cute moments as these old friends catch up, so Lani will show off pictures of the twins and see how much Rachel Black (Finley Rose Slater) has grown during this visit, too.

Of course, Lani will also be part of some Christmas cheer at Paulina Price (Jackée Harry) and Abe Carver’s (James Reynolds) place.

Abe, Paulina, Lani, Eli Grant (Lamon Archey), Jules Grant (Dion and Raegen Yancy) and Carver Grant (Zyair and Zamir Ashford) will all open presents as they share some family fun.

The fun will continue as they all have a birthday celebration for the twins – and there’ll be some kid-related festivities at the hospital as well.

Days spoilers say Abe will dress up as Santa Claus and spread some holiday joy this year.

Over with Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall), she’ll confess to Brady about how much she’s missing John Black (Drake Hogestyn) this Christmas.

John is currently off on a special mission, but Marlena will wish he was home for the holidays.

Sadly, John’s going to go missing while doing ISA work and will face a grim fate down the road.

Marlena will fight hard for news on John’s location and try to track him down, but this is the beginning of the end for her husband.

In the meantime, Brady will hang out with Rachel and give her a Christmas present, but our DOOL predictions hint that’ll bring more tension with Kristen.

Days of Our Lives spoilers say Brady and Kristen will have to find a path forward for Rachel’s sake, so stay tuned.
