This Christmas, Salem held no magic – only tears, screams, and unhealed wounds.

The DiMera family was torn apart by Peter’s secret. The Black family was weighed down by grief.

But despite the devastation, Days of Our Lives still managed to plant a small ray of light in the darkness.

At the end of the tumultuous weekend, the final scene sent the entire fandom into a frenzy: the entire main cast gathered in Salem Square, where the largest Christmas tree was lit.

Marlena emerged, her face still sad, but her eyes now held a glimmer of hope. Brady held Belle’s hand. Paulina smiled faintly. And Peter, from afar, watched the scene with eyes filled with regret.

No dialogue, only the music played: “You’re not alone, not tonight.” A conclusion typical of Days – tragic, emotional, and yet retaining its human core: despite countless setbacks, Salem always gets back up, loves again, and believes again.
