“Age of X-Man: Apocalypse & the X-tracts” #1: There is so much wrong with this image, like Kitty BLOWING OUT THE CANDLES???? on a decidedly not kosher Menorah but at least the trivia of there being two different kinds of Menorahs is right; 7 is the traditional one from the temple whereas the 9 is commemorative of the holiday and called a Chanukiah. – Elias Rosner

“Black Cat” #4: Really, as a Jewish comic book fan, I just like little touches like this that acknowledge Ben Grimm’s faith. – Robbie Pleasant

“Critical Role: Vox Machina Origins III” #4: This holiday season, remember to give your D&D players something they really want: a deadly fight against a white dragon and its wonderful treasure hoard. – Robbie Pleasant

“DC’s Very Merry Multiverse” #1: The least you could’ve done is having her munch on some Chinese food. No movies this year but it ain’t Christmas in a New York Jew’s household without Chinese food. – Elias Rosner

“Family Tree” #12: Of course. It’s required Christmas viewing. – Kate Kosturski

“Hellboy Winter Special (2017)” #1: Depends. Is this a “Christmas Carol” riff or not? – Elias Rosner

“Marvels Epilogue”: Alex Ross is just great at Christmas scenes, isn’t he? – Christopher Chiu-Tabet

“Merry X-Men Special” #1: Leave it to Chris Sims, Chad Bowers and Marco Failla to remind me of my pre-adolescent crush on Jubilee. She does Christmas right. – Jake Hill

“Merry X-Men Special” #1: It’s cool that Cannonball has time to celebrate Hannukah with his Jewish wife and still be an intergalactic Santa Claus. That’s how you superhero right. – Jake Hill

“Marvel Holiday Special” (2011): Still the GOAT for Hanukkah in superhero comics – Christopher Chiu-Tabet

“Stranger Things Winter Special” #1: Hopper smarter than every parent in 1984. – Kate Kosturski

“Stranger Things Winter Special” #1: Coming in 2022 to AppleTV+: The Ted Lasso Christmas Carol. – Kate Kosturski

“Superman: Peace on Earth”: Superman delivering a Christmas tree embodies everything that’s wholesome about the character – Christopher Chiu-Tabet

“’Tis the Season to be Freezin’” #1: This is Alfred’s happy face. He’s just been around Bruce so long his default expression is “stoic sarcasm.” – Robbie Pleasant

“The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl” #43: Doreen is demonstrating advanced shoveling technique. Sadly advanced does not mean fast or easy. – Elias Rosner

“Usagi Yojimbo” Saga Vol. 2: It’s the true meaning of Christmas. – Elias Rosner
