Twixmas is upon us—the tranquil interlude bridging Christmas Day and New Year’s Eve.

While the entertainment scene might be a bit quiet as we inch closer to 2026, Live with Kelly and Mark is stepping in to fill the void. Just before Twixmas, the popular daytime talk show embraced the festive spirit with their Holiday House Party episode. Airing on December 24, this special featured an engaging interview with John Stamos and lively performances by Train and the iconic Radio City Rockettes.

Sharp-eyed fans might have spotted something different in the latest episode—a fresh pre-recorded chat between hosts Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos. This was followed by reruns of interviews with Jeremy Allen White and Chandra Wilson, alongside a previously aired musical performance by Josh Ross.
