Original stories
Sonic the Hedgehog · A Christmas Wish #
Still stranded in the Special Zone, Sonic spends Christmas in New Tek City while young Richie Rover tries to become Insect-Guy. A bite and a costume give Richie false confidence, and his leap from a window leaves Charmy rescuing him before he blunders into the Chaotix's clash with the Blazer. Sonic soon finds a kinder use for the would-be hero, inviting him to help deliver presents at a hospital.

Captain Plunder · Shanghaied, Part 3 #
A batch of Proctor Speckle's transformation serum turns three sharks into a boarding party for Captain Plunder's ship. Mister Fry drags Simpson and the main sail into the melee, then reverts at the worst possible moment, leaving Plunder to save Simpson with a hefty mallet. The sharks are subdued, but Speckle slips away with the crew's vintage rum truffles.

Decap Attack · The Legend of Mr Cuddle Bunny, Part 3 #
Mr Twitch and Mick C McTosis invade the castle to steal Mr Cuddle Bunny's hat and fortune. Chuck's improvised rescue sends Head and the hat into the fireplace, destroying the prize. Igor's decade-long imprisonment has filled Bunny's notebooks with 643 new tales, and the author decides the castle suits him rather well.

Sonic's World · Season of Goodwill #
With Emerald Hill deserted on Christmas Day, Tekno hosts the Freedom Fighters underground while Robotnik prepares a heat-ray satellite to drown Happy Valley.

The visitor warns that Robotnik's empire will soon fall, leaving the dictator to discover that power is no substitute for friends.
