Fans were eagerly anticipating a Christmas special that would reunite Young Sheldon’s beloved Cooper family, especially after Sheldon’s absence from the Thanksgiving episode. However, co-creator Steve Holland dashed those hopes, revealing that there won’t be a Christmas special this season, as they felt one major holiday episode was enough. Holland also shared that Sheldon’s absence from the Thanksgiving episode was intentional, as his presence would have distracted from the emotionally charged storyline focused on George’s passing. Let’s explore what this decision means for the show’s future and whether fans can still expect Sheldon’s return.
