The holiday season in Salem takes a twisted and unforgettable turn as Days of Our Lives delivers one of its most shocking Christmas

storylines ever. In a dramatic blend of irony, karma, and long-buried secrets, three notorious figures—dubbed by fans as the show’s “Devil

Children”—find themselves facing judgment not from the courts or their enemies, but from an unexpected force of reckoning: Santa Claus himself. While not literal children, these characters are branded “Devil Children” due to their selfish actions, manipulations, and crimes that have left a trail of heartbreak across Salem.

 

 

A Dark Christmas Message in Salem

Christmas in Salem is usually a time of reconciliation, miracle recoveries, and emotional reunions. This year, however, the holiday spirit comes with a sharp edge. A mysterious Santa figure appears throughout the week, leaving symbolic “gifts” that expose secrets and force confessions. At first, residents believe it’s a harmless prank—or even a festive morale booster. But it quickly becomes clear that Santa’s mission is far darker.

Each “gift” is carefully targeted, tailored to the recipient’s worst sins. For three particular characters, the consequences are devastating.

Devil Child #1: The Master Manipulator

 

 

The first to be exposed is a Salem schemer known for pulling strings behind the scenes while keeping their hands seemingly clean. For years, this character orchestrated betrayals, blackmailed loved ones, and destroyed relationships—all while pretending to be a victim.

Santa’s “gift” arrives in the form of undeniable proof: documents, recordings, and witness statements linking them to multiple past crimes. The exposure is public and humiliating, leaving former allies stunned. What makes this punishment especially brutal is that the truth comes out in front of the very people they claimed to protect. The mask finally shatters, and Salem sees the devil behind the smile.

Devil Child #2: The Would-Be Killer

The second “Devil Child” is someone whose hands are far dirtier—someone who crossed the ultimate line by attempting to take a life. Though the crime was covered up, the guilt has haunted Salem quietly, poisoning families and friendships.

Santa’s intervention is chilling. Instead of evidence, this character receives a reminder of their crime: a symbolic object tied directly to the night everything went wrong. The shock triggers a breakdown, and in a moment of emotional collapse, the truth spills out. Confession follows, leaving loved ones devastated and authorities closing in. Christmas bells ring in the background as handcuffs loom—a stark contrast that underscores the cruelty of fate.

Devil Child #3: The Heartbreaker

The third “Devil Child” may not be a criminal in the legal sense, but their emotional damage is just as severe. This character manipulated lovers, exploited trust, and shattered families for personal gain. Their greatest crime? Playing with hearts without remorse.

Santa’s punishment is poetic. Instead of public exposure, this character is forced to face the wreckage they caused. One by one, people they betrayed confront them—armed with the truth and finally united. The emotional reckoning is overwhelming. Left alone on Christmas Day, they realize that while lies can bring power, they also bring isolation. For this “Devil Child,” loneliness becomes the harshest sentence of all.

Who Is Santa Really?

As the week unfolds, fans are left wondering: who is behind this twisted holiday justice? Is it a familiar face in disguise? A vigilante with a conscience? Or simply karma taking form in Salem’s most theatrical fashion?

Clues suggest the Santa figure knows intimate details that only an insider could possess. Speculation runs wild that this may be someone long wronged, returning to reclaim their power—or someone trying to right the balance before the year ends.

A Moral Twist for the Holidays

What makes this storyline so compelling is its message. Days of Our Lives reminds viewers that while villains may escape consequences for years, the truth always finds a way out. Christmas becomes not just a celebration, but a mirror—forcing characters to confront who they really are.

Final Thoughts

This shocking Christmas arc delivers suspense, emotional payoffs, and long-awaited justice. The “Devil Children” of Salem finally face the consequences of their darkest crimes, proving that even in a town known for resurrections and second chances, accountability matters.

As Salem reels from these revelations, one thing is certain: this Christmas will be remembered as the one where Santa didn’t give gifts—he gave truth.
