☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Christmas Season with Betty & Veronica," Jughead takes on the role of Santa Claus for the kids at the local hospital, complete with Hot Dog as his reindeer—much to the amusement of the rest of the gang. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with vibrant art by Stan Goldberg, Rudy Lapick, Barry Grossman, and Bill Yoshida, this 1974 holiday special captures the season’s warmth with a touch of humor. The cover by Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick perfectly captures the festive spirit.
In "null," Betty tries to win Archie’s attention by offering to shovel the Andrews family’s sidewalks, hoping Mr. Andrews will vouch for her at the upcoming dance. With a mix of determination and quiet hope, she sets out to prove she’s more than just a friend—though whether her plan will pay off remains to be seen.
Jughead’s determined to bring holiday cheer as Santa Claus for the kids at the local hospital, complete with Hot Dog as his reindeer—no matter how much the gang teases him. His heartfelt plan puts his usual laziness aside, turning a simple act of kindness into something unexpectedly meaningful.
