During the first day of Christmas memory, which was posted to the "Days of Our Lives" Peacock page, actress Susan Seaforth Hayes took fans back to the 1970s. Seaforth Hayes, who has played the role of Julie Williams on the show for decades, revealed that she is the only cast member that has appeared on the show in each decade that it's aired. This makes her the perfect person to kick off the holiday festivities online. The star reminisced over the 1971 episode, which first showed off the Horton holiday celebration and the iconic ornaments that trimmed their tree. This was also the episode where Doug Williams (Bill Hayes) was presented with his very own Horton family ornament.
Seaforth Hayes went on to tell fans that during those early years in Salem, she and her co-star Bill Hayes were falling in love in real life as well. She then confirmed that like Doug and Julie, they have had a long and happy marriage. The actress tearfully revealed that she and her husband have always considered their "Days of Our Lives" cast members part of their family and love story. She also reminded viewers that they were part of that family as well.
"What a great clip," one fan said via Twitter. "What a treat and what an icon Susan is," another said. Fans were obviously delighted by the flashback scenes, which likely helped put them in the holiday spirit.
