Christmas has officially arrived in Port Charles, and some big surprises will be waiting to greet some of the town's residents on General Hospital.

Maxie Learns The Outcome Of Her Custody Hearing

Maxie (Kirsten Storms) received her biggest Christmas wish come true when she learned that Judge Walters had reversed his ruling and would allow her to see her daughter, Georgie, just in time for the holidays. She is unaware that Nathan (Ryan Paevy) was the one who helped orchestrate her wish coming true, but right now the only thing that matters to her is getting to Portland-where she will reunite with Spinelli (Bradford Anderson) for the first time since his move-and finally see her baby girl again.

"Merry Christmas Spinelli," she says in a preview clip for the Wednesday, Dec. 24 episode.

The Search For Ric Continues

Meanwhile, back in Port Charles, Molly (Haley Pullos) has also received the most unexpected Christmas gift of all-the return of her presumed-dead father, Ric (Rick Hearst). And while she is ecstatic that he is finally back in her life again, she won't be able to help but wonder why he hasn't shown himself to the woman he loves yet.

"Why haven't you called Elizabeth yet?" she asks him in the clip.

Ric may consider going to see Elizabeth again-but he may be shocked by what he finds when he arrives at her house, as she has been growing steadily closer to "Jake" (Billy Miller)-and the two could finally take their budding relationship up a notch.

"It's bad luck to stand under the mistletoe without kissing," Jake says to her in the clip.

General Hospital airs Monday-Friday at 3 p.m. on ABC.
