Archie Comics Digest #70

When Jingles, Santa’s mischievous brownie, makes his annual Christmas return to Riverdale, he’s soon joined by two uninvited guests—Jangles and Jeeves—sparking a chaotic turf war over who gets to claim the town as their own. The trio’s magical antics quickly spiral into a full-blown brawl at the pier, leaving Archie and the gang caught in the middle of a holiday showdown they never saw coming.

In "A Clothes Call," Miss Grundy steps out of her usual routine with a bold new hairstyle and outfit, only to panic at the thought of facing her students. To her surprise, they embrace her fresh look, and even Mr. Weatherbee, ever the formal one, invites her to dinner—leaving her both flustered and hopeful.

In "Love Finds a Way...", Jughead’s attempt to escape a humiliating Christmas gift from Big Ethel backfires when he impulsively asks her on a date—only to find his escape route blocked when her over-the-top enthusiasm lands her soaked in snow and bedridden with a cold.

In "To Each His Own," a playful mix-up at a department store sends Veronica and Betty on a surprising swap of desires—each ends up with the gift the other had been hoping for, leading to a moment of unexpected connection and shared laughter.

In "Fit to be Tied," Sabrina’s magical speed makes wrapping presents look effortless—so when Harvey enters her in a contest against Betty, the real challenge begins. Without her spells, Sabrina’s attempts at wrapping reveal just how unskilled she really is, turning the competition into a hilarious test of nerves and paper.

In "Flour Child," Veronica’s latest batch of Christmas cookies proves too tempting—and too dangerous—for anyone to resist. Archie and Betty devise a plan to save the day (and their stomachs) by enlisting Chuck and Moose to stage a cookie heist, all while convincing Veronica there’s a mysterious thief on the loose.

In "The Giving Game," Archie fumes over a disappointingly cheap Christmas gift from Reggie, only to be nudged by Betty into pretending she’s Reggie so he can vent his frustration—leading to a series of playful, awkward exchanges that blur the lines between teasing and true friendship.
