☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "I'll Take the Wrap," Veronica finds herself on a surprising holiday detour when a ghostly spirit appears after she declines to join the gang in singing Christmas carols. Written and drawn by Al Hartley, with inks by Jon D'Agostino, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida, this 1970 tale blends festive charm with a touch of the supernatural. The cover, penciled and inked by Dan DeCarlo, captures the whimsical mood of the story with its classic Archie flair.
In this charming 1970 holiday tale from Archie Giant Series Magazine #168, Betty and Veronica turn the annual gang gift exchange into a playful challenge—insisting the boys keep the wrapping paper intact, no matter how much they beg to tear it open. With Jo and the others caught in a festive standoff of patience and promise, the real gift might just be the laughter they’re all trying to hold in.
In "Yule-Tide Fool Time," Betty and Veronica find themselves caught in a festive frenzy as the Christmas spirit takes an unexpected turn, turning the school staff into delightfully dazed holiday dreamers during the holiday decorations. The story captures the whimsy and chaos of the season with a touch of Archie-era charm.
In "Love and Stitches," Betty takes a very personal approach to knitting—literally—when she convinces Archie she’s measuring him for a sweater, using the excuse to get close. Veronica, not one to be outdone, decides it’s time to play along, turning the moment into a quiet, playful rivalry between the two girls.
When Veronica skips the gang’s Christmas caroling, she’s visited by a mysterious ghostly spirit who shows her a vision of what might come if she stays true to her usual self—no carols, no cheer, and no change. Written by an unknown author and illustrated by an unknown artist, this 1970 holiday tale from Archie Giant Series Magazine #168 offers a whimsical, slightly spooky twist on the season’s spirit.
