As the people of Salem prepare for Christmas, the entire DiMera family is kidnapped and imprisoned in a cold crypt.

Kristen, Chad, EJ, Tony, and Theo disappear simultaneously, leaving the city in panic.

Only Rafe Hernandez and Jada Hunter dare to embark on a race against time to save them.

In the gloomy Christmas Eve atmosphere, the two officers follow clues to an abandoned crypt, where flickering candles and strange sounds emanate from underground.

They know one wrong step could mean the entire DiMera family is buried alive forever.

The rescue becomes breathtaking when Jada detects signs of a poison gas being activated – clearly this is not just a simple kidnapping, but an organized assassination plot. The scene where Rafe pulls open the cellar door with his bare hands, screaming in despair as he hears Chad’s cries from below, left fans stunned by the tension.

Many viewers believe that Peter Blake, the man with the ambition to seize DiMera’s entire fortune, is behind this kidnapping. If true, this Christmas in Salem will be devoid of magic – only smoke, tears, and betrayal.
