📰 NEWS FLASH: Festive cheer can’t hide the tension as Whoopi Goldberg declares “We’re leaving,” sending The View into a dramatic final stretch before hiatus ⚡. NQ

The View has begun its “12 Days of Christmas” countdown celebration with a joyously decorated new set and a series of holiday-related programming. As festive as the new set looks, and as merry as the “View Your Deal” segment might be, though, that also means that the show’s 2025 episode slate is officially now on countdown, too, as the winter hiatus approaches.

The show will be off air through some major moments, including Christmas and New Year’s Eve and Day.

So when does The View officially go on its planned winter hiatus? And when will it return with new episodes? Here’s what to know.
