Comments: Sugar Plum the fairy is drawn as one cute little character here. She is here to help Archie realize his friends do need him.
Sugar Plum shows Archie his past where he is first told Santa Claus is not real. Fred Andrews has the perfect response to this. This is so wonderful to read. You are expecting one thing and get this instead, truly this is the spirit of Christmas.
Having Archie talking about Santa Claus not being real while talking to Santa Claus’s Sugar Plum fairy is brilliant.
Archie is shown helping Jughead get into the spirit of Christmas. His stomach is still there yet it takes a short break to help others.
A look at the future shows having Archie in his friends’ lives helped them all and others too.
Here we see Archie finally having a trouble-free Christmas. It is well deserved. Jighead well he gets what he wants and deserves to. While Sugar Plum is just so cute.
