The beloved CBS comedy is giving fans double the holiday fun with special episodes airing this fall and winter. Ghosts is coming back with two big holiday events before its already-confirmed sixth season arrives. The show just aired a Halloween special on October 30, 2025, and will follow up with a two-part Christmas special on December 18, 2025. These bonus episodes give viewers plenty of ghostly fun while waiting for Season 6.
Halloween Special Brings a Mummy to Woodstone
The Ghosts Halloween episode titled “Halloween 5: The Mummy” aired on October 30, 2025 at 8:31 PM ET/PT on CBS. The episode saw Sam (Rose McIver) and Jay (Utkarsh Ambudkar) accidentally release a mummy ghost during their Halloween celebration. This new spirit caused all kinds of problems at the Woodstone B&B.
The episode was written by Josh Malmuth and directed by Pete Chatmon. Fans who missed it can still watch on Paramount+. The streaming service offers next-day access for Essential plan subscribers and live streaming for Premium plan members.
Christmas Two-Part Special Arrives in December
The Ghosts Christmas celebration is bigger this year. CBS will air a two-part episode called “It’s a Wonderful Christmas Carol” on Thursday, December 18, 2025. The special runs from 9:00 PM to 10:00 PM ET/PT on CBS.
Part one and part two will play back-to-back. The story follows Sam as she gets ready for a big Christmas Eve TV interview with Walter Storm, played by guest star Larry Wilmore. But things go wrong in typical Ghosts fashion. Sam ends up seeing what life would be like if she never had the ability to see ghosts.
Caroline Aaron returns as Carol in the Christmas episodes. The special also shows Trevor (Asher Grodman) and Patience bonding over not liking Christmas celebrations.
Season 6 Already Confirmed
CBS renewed Ghosts for both a fifth and sixth season in February 2025. Season 5 started airing on October 16, 2025. The show remains one of CBS’s top comedies.
The cast will all return for Season 6. This includes Rose McIver as Sam, Utkarsh Ambudkar as Jay, Brandon Scott Jones as Isaac, Danielle Pinnock as Alberta, Asher Grodman as Trevor, Rebecca Wisocky as Hetty, Richie Moriarty as Pete, Román Zaragoza as Sasappis, Sheila Carrasco as Flower, and Devan Chandler Long as Thorfinn.
Cast Celebrates the Show’s Success
