Seeing as LNER are pulling trains from Sunderland in December, I can see some experimental early/late Grand Central trains running even if they are not every day...

The Sunderland late evening service terminates at Newcastle on a semi-regular basis ever since Covid and the subsequent industrial relations breakdown. It’s not what you would call reliable and getting rid of a service that only exists for political reasons is the smart move. What I will say is it’s currently the final heavy rail service of the day between Newcastle and Sunderland so it’ll likely have to be replaced by a Northern train to maintain the connection.
