Archie and the gang have an ongoing relationship with things magical and supernatural. Sabrina, sure, and the zombie book. But also, every Christmas, manifestations of a real, live Santa Claus and his devoted elf Jingles.

Lesser known in the Archie Christmas universe is Sugar Plum, a female fairy who hangs around with Betty & Veronica. She helps trim Veronica’s massive Christmas tree, “straight from the forests of Norway,” in Betty and Veronica Double Digest #217 (December 2013). That same digest features a Sabrina story, “When Cows Fly,” featuring still more elves, plus some Santa-assisting sorcery so that reindeers (and cows, and whales) can fly.
