December 22: Harley and Poison Ivy are in hiding and Harley wants a tree. They catch up to Bruce Wayne at a party and use Ivy's hypnotic potions to enrapture him then use his credit cards to go on a shopping spree. He manages to overcome their influence and fakes falling down an elevator shaft, then emerges as Batman. After a short battle, Batman drops a Christmas tree on them as they escape, and Harley gets her tree after all.

December 24: Bullock and Montoya are staking out a department store plagued by thefts (with Bullock as Santa), while Barbara Gordon (Batgirl) is shopping. She spots the thief but discovers he's Clayface - split it into various "child" thieves. He unites his split selves and goes on a rampage - Barbara intervenes as Batgirl when Montoya and Bullock get in over their heads. She gets him outside and stalls him long enough for the police to shoot the Christmas lights so the wires fall into Clayface, electrocuting him.

December 31: Joker interrupts a football broadcast to announce he's going to kill as many people as possible before the new year. Batman and Robin discover the Joker has a sonic bomb and will detonate it at Gotham Square at midnight. To provide additional cover the Joker supplies Joker masks to the entire crowd. Batman spots the real Joker and fight him and his goons, but gets defeated. Using the Joker's bottle of champagne, Batman manages to short out the mechanism and the bell falls directly on Joker.

January 1, 1:55 a.m.: Commissioner Gordon steps into a bar to meet with Batman for their traditional New Year's cup of coffee.
