DCU Holiday Special II (1998)

Since Christmas is fast approaching, I thought I'd post the some Christmas themed covers for the next few days up until Christmas.
Today's Christmas Cover  comes the DCU Holiday Bash II from 1998, art by Scott McDaniel & Kevin Nowlan.
DC put three of these Holiday Bash Specials out from 1997 to 1999, each featuring several Christmas themed stories using top characters and quite a few lesser knowns as well.
