With the exposition finally out of the way this read a lot better than the previous issues, really giving the characters time to shine

Always got to watch out for those Phantom Zone prisoners lest they possess you!
When was it established Jaime could create Kryptonite radiation? I love how Batman's contingency plans for Superman always rely on Kryptonite.
Damian playing a "child" was hilarious.
Even Jo gets to geek out a little at seeing Santa.
I love the discussion on why Santa delivers gifts (with Superman being the one who really gets it). I love Santa feeling guilty about Bruce and Damian's lost childhood. I love Damian wanting a surveillance system at five years old. I love Damian getting to ride in Santa's sleigh. I love Jeff Parke fitting in clean-shaven Aquaman at the last minute. I love all the heroes getting to chill out and relax at Santa's workshop.
This was another fun issue and great wrap-up to this series. The Damian and Superman parts were the best. Would love to see this become a yearly tradition at DC. Maybe even do other events or Holidays like Halloween, etc. Only downside is that they needed 2 different artists this issue to wrap the last issue up. Too bad Bandini could do all 4 issues.
Yeah, it is a shame that Bandini couldn't finish it, but other than that another fun issue and a good ending. I was hoping that they'd maybe tease something for other seasons as well, but maybe at least we'll get another one next Christmas.
