Updated October 28, 2026. The networks are rolling out their holiday schedules, and four game show specials are set so far, all at 8 p.m. Eastern and Pacific: two on ABC and two from The Price Is Right on CBS. We'll add more as they're announced.

The Schedule So Far

  • Thursday, December 3, 8 p.m., ABC: Celebrity Family Feud, “‘American Idol’ Men vs ‘American Idol’ Women.” Steve Harvey hosts a holiday special in which American Idol alumni play for the charities they chose.
  • Thursday, December 10, 8 p.m., ABC: Press Your Luck, “Holiday Extravaganza IV: Oh My Gracious!” Elizabeth Banks hosts as contestants play for the big bucks and try to dodge the Whammy.
  • Sunday, December 13, 8 p.m., CBS: The Price Is Right at Night: Live Holiday Special. CBS says it is the first time in the show's 54-year history on CBS that it will broadcast in real time.
  • Tuesday, December 15, 8 p.m., CBS: The Price Is Right: 20 Seasons of Drew Carey. The same week, CBS looks back at Carey's most memorable moments since he began hosting in October 2007.

Holiday Episodes in the Daytime

CBS says this season of The Price Is Right includes Thanksgiving and Christmas Week themed episodes. It hasn't given their dates yet; we'll add them when it does.

Still to Come

NBC hasn't announced its 2026 holiday lineup. Last year's came at the end of October and included a Password holiday special, so news could come any day. The CW's holiday lineup has no game show specials (a Scrabble encore airs on December 26, but it isn't a holiday edition), and FOX hasn't announced any.

More to Watch
