SUMMARY
- Young Sheldon season 7 aims to break the disappointing trend of The Big Bang Theory prequel by delivering a satisfying send-off for the Coopers.
- With only 14 episodes to wrap up its narrative, the spin-off needs to carefully craft the remaining storylines of the characters.
- Young Sheldon season 7 may feature a Christmas-themed episode, something that the series has never done before, offering a festive touch to the farewell year.
Young Sheldon season 7 may be looking to break a disappointing The Big Bang Theory prequel trend. The Coopers will be saying goodbye at the end of the upcoming Young Sheldon year, and that comes with a lot of expectations, especially considering the sheer number of plot lines that the spin-off needs to finish.
However, Young Sheldon can't simply dive into the lingering arcs that are waiting for any kind of resolution, otherwise, its storytelling risks being overwhelming. Given this, it's safe to expect that in between heavy episodes, it will also have more lighthearted fares to balance out its swan song for the Coopers.

While CBS has yet to release any official promotional material for the series' upcoming year, set images from Young Sheldon season 7 offer a sneak peek at what to expect when the Coopers return for the final time on the small screen.

These strongly suggest that Young Sheldon season 7 will include a Christmas-themed episode for the first time — just before the spin-off wraps up its run on CBS.

The delayed Young Sheldon season 7 premiere will likely prove how The Big Bang Theory spin-off prequel could have continued beyond its upcoming year.
Unlike The Big Bang Theory, which featured several Christmas-themed episodes, Young Sheldon has never had one. This is odd for two reasons. Firstly, the prequel is a family series.
Granted that it was conceived as Sheldon's origins story, but at its core, it's about the Cooper family, and Christmas is a great way to give them something to be festive about. Secondly, Mary is a devout born-again Christian.
If anything she should be going all out for Christmas — something that Sheldon actually talked about in The Big Bang Theory.
However, Young Sheldon doesn't do any themed episodes. It even barely does birthdays for its main family members. There's no official reason for this, but perhaps it has something to do with wanting to keep the timeline as vague as possible.
As a prequel show, The Big Bang Theory canon limits the prequel's storytelling, and not giving any definitive era markers allows it to stretch out its years to keep it on the air for as long as possible.
