Christmas shopping is hard enough, especially when you've got a grinch like Reggie on your list. Jughead is determined to get the perennial trickster the perfect gift, but what do you get for the guy who puts the "bah" in "humbug"? Only way to find out is to read "The Christmas Turkeys!"

Do-gooder Betty Cooper is doing what she does best, selling homemade wreaths for charity at the mall. But Veronica is on to her scheme when she realizes who Betty's assistant is: Archie! Veronica must think fast if she's going to get what (or in this case, who) she wants for Christmas! See what the holidays bring in "Wreath Wrath!"

Betty earns a gig on the runway from her modeling class, but will Veronica's competitive nature leave either of them able to 'Walk the Walk'? Then, Veronica plays 'Hide & Seek' in an attempt to sneak in on Betty and Archie's alone time at a horror flick, but who will have the last scream? Finally, the girls meet their favorite TV star, Plain Jane and find out "The Plain Truth!" PLUS: Other new and classic tales!

It's Christmas Eve and the gang is gathered at Pop's comparing their holiday traditions.

Meanwhile, Moose and Dilton debate the existence of a certain jolly man in red in "Not a creature was stirring, not even a... Moose!"

Nothing like a visit from Santa himself to get you into the Christmas spirit! The world's most famous gift bearer invites Archie back to his work shop to see what goes on behind the scenes of his busiest time of year, but is it real? See for yourself in "The Visit!"

Tis the season to be jolly, that is unless Mr. Weatherbee has anything to say about it! After a ban on holiday decorations is enforced at Riverdale High, the school halls just aren't very festive. Archie and the gang intend to do something about it, but without breaking any of the school rules in "Decoration Daze!"

Betty and Veronica in "Fangs a Lot, Vampironica." Vampires in Riverdale? Where's a slayer when you need one? Last we saw the girls, they had befriended some nice vampires down by the beach.
