Original stories
Sonic the Hedgehog · Child's Play #
Children in the Emerald Hill Zone build a remote-controlled Badnik to lure Sonic into showing off his speed. Sonic pretends to be beaten before exposing the trick, then turns the snow into a playground for them during the first Christmas in years without Robotnik's interference.
Script: Nigel Kitching · Art: Richard Elson · Letters: Ellie de Ville
Amy · Dream On #
Amy and Tekno enter the nightmare of an unemployed alien who fears he cannot give his family Christmas presents. Amy helps him see that his family needs his happiness more than expensive gifts; after he wakes to a new job offer, the Ring of Eternity returns the travellers to Mobius for Christmas.
Script: Lew Stringer · B&W art: Carl Flint · Letters: Tom Frame
Tails · Captain Christmas #
A cold leaves Tails too slow to stop Baa Humbug's crimes, while the apparently heroic Captain Christmas wins the citizens' presents with festive weapons and a charm-enhancing body spray. Tails's antidote reveals that the hero is Dog Malone, who is made to spend Christmas helping Father Christmas deliver the gifts.
