Hi Reva. I don't think the leaves will recover. Carefully remove severely damaged segments to encourage new growth. If I am correct about your weather, it can get quite hot where you are. Christmas Cacti prefer bright, indirect light. Try moving it to a more shaded area. They like morning sun, so maybe under a tree. You can also move it indoors if temp drops below 50dF or rise above 90dF. Hope it helps!
If it’s not too many of the leaves, I would suggest clipping the damaged ones. That will let the plant focus on growing the healthy leaves. If the damage is too bad to clip the leaves, I would suggest clipping the worst ones and keeping the soil moist, although make sure to avoid overwatering- you don’t want to give the plant something else to battle. In either case, try moving your plant friend into more indirect light for a bit. I hope it gets better and that this was helpful :)
