    Notes

    • "Santa's Oath?" is set in one of the original continuities of Prime Earth, as the events of Batman/Santa Claus: Silent Knight Returns #3 show that Ulah of the Huldufolk is Santa Claus/Klaus' wife in the reborn continuity.
    • "Secret Santa" takes place around the New 52 era in the unknotted, reborn continuity of Prime Earth due to the House of Secrets being displaced on Earth, which only happened during The New 52, and the appearance of the original Secret Six that wre restored to the continuity only after the Rebirth of the Multiverse.
    • In ""Ghosts of Christmas Present," Demon Constantine makes his first appearance on Prime Earth. His existence implies that, at least, the Critical Mass storyline occurred on Prime Earth.
      • John claims that his alter ego "should be rotting in Hell," suggesting that his "original" death is also canon to Prime Earth: since the Another Season in Hell could not have happened in the Prime Earth continuity, John supposedly references his fall into Hell from the How to Play with Fire storyline.
    • "It's a Criminal Life" takes place some time after the rebirth of the Multiverse.
      • Arkham Asylum is briefly shown in this story but it's a continuity error because Blackgate Penitentiary is the only prison in Gotham City as of the A-Day.
    • "The Perfect Gift" shows that Rac Shade was also a member of Suicide Squad on Prime Earth. This supposedly happened before the Post-Flashpoint version of Shade, the Changing Man (Volume 2).
    • "O Glowy Night" takes place in the early years of Superman's career.

    Trivia

    • The title of this one-shot comic is a reference to the song parody "Jingle Bells, Batman Smells", which has existed at least since the 1960s.[1][2]
