How to Watch the Ghosts Christmas Special on CBS (Dec 2026)
By American TV editorial team |
The Ghosts Christmas special airs Thursday, December 10, 2026, from 9–10 PM ET/PT on CBS. DIRECTV viewers should use their local CBS station’s listing. Paramount+ is the announced streaming home; the available live or on-demand route depends on the subscription.
Start with CBS on DIRECTV and our DIRECTV add-on guide when comparing subscription options. The TV guide covers more viewing options.
A holiday visit to Woodstone
CBS lists the one-hour event as GHOSTSMAS. The comedy follows Sam and Jay, who turn an inherited mansion into a bed-and-breakfast and discover the property is already occupied by ghosts. Rose McIver and Utkarsh Ambudkar lead the cast.
The holiday special is separate from the regular sixth-season premiere. CBS says Season 6 will arrive at midseason, with its exact premiere date still to be announced. Do not treat December 10 as the start of a confirmed weekly Season 6 schedule.
Watch through Paramount+
Paramount+ says its Premium plan includes a live local CBS stream. Episodes can also be available on demand the day after their CBS broadcast through its subscription plans. Check the special’s own listing, your location and your current plan before relying on either route.
When searching, choose the U.S. Ghosts comedy and the December holiday event. The British original, earlier Christmas episodes and the October Halloween event are different listings. A series tile alone does not mean this new special is already playable.
Check your local DIRECTV listing
Search the full program title in the DIRECTV guide near the broadcast date. Local station numbers depend on your address and market. Confirm that the account receives the station, check the listed time zone and set a recording if your plan and device support it. Recheck the guide before the special because schedules can change.
Satellite, internet-delivered DIRECTV and streaming-only subscriptions can have different channel lineups or local availability. Use the account’s own guide rather than assuming a channel number from another city applies. If a search returns an older special, check the broadcast date and description before selecting it.
Plan your viewing before the broadcast
- Confirm the correct local station and special date.
- Check the program’s time zone in your guide.
- Review recording capacity and any recording restrictions.
- Test streaming sign-in on the television you plan to use.
- Check subscription and renewal terms before adding a service.
A streaming app installed on a smart TV or Gemini device does not establish that your account includes the program. Follow the service’s account-linking instructions where applicable and check the specific live or on-demand option. Do not purchase another subscription until you have checked your existing access.
