It’s Christmas Eve in Port Charles, and Carly is playing Santa with a gift for both Charlotte and Valentin. Here’s how the father and daughter reunited during the December 24, 2025 episode of General Hospital.

Key Takeaways

• Carly gave Charlotte and Valentin the one thing they both wanted for Christmas.
• Britt got her medical license back.
• Gio’s grandfathers got him a new violin.

Father and Daughter’s Festive Night

Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) and Charlotte (Bluesy Burke) were coping with being apart for Christmas in their own ways; Charlotte held onto the blue ribbon tied onto a key, and Valentin put up a Christmas tree in Carly’s (Laura Wright) attic. And after almost being caught by Donna (Scarlett Spears), Valentin decided to thank Carly for allowing him a place to hide out during his first Christmas without his daughter.

It was a little while later when Carly arrived at Sonny’s (Maurice Benard), joined by Charlotte, Rocco (Finn Carr), Dante (Dominic Zamprogna), Lulu (Alexa Havins), and more. And when she noticed Charlotte sneakily pull out the key from her dad, that was when she got an idea that only the magic of Christmas could spark.

After claiming to have forgotten something at home and asking Charlotte to head back with her to help her, Carly brought her up to the attic, where she tearfully reunited with her papa. Charlotte knowing her dad’s whereabouts is okay, but Brennan (Chris McKenna) overhearing Donna wonder why a Christmas tree was out up in the attic certainly sparked some suspicion with the WSB head.

Of course, Charlotte wasn’t the only one to get a life-changing Christmas gift. While Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) celebrated the news that her medical license has been reinstated, Gio (Giovanni Mazza) has no idea that his grandfathers Sonny and Ned (Wally Kurth) pitched in to get him a new violin.

General Hospital spoilers for December 29 throw things back to Sidwell (Carlo Rota), who hosts an impromptu holiday party at Wyndemere. While the rest of Port Charles celebrates with their friends and family, only time will tell who was lucky enough to receive an invite to Sidwell’s soiree.
