A Yuletide Universe: Sixteen Fantastical Tales

A Yuletide Universe: Sixteen Fantastical Tales, a reprint anthology edited by Brian M. Thomsen (The American Fantasy Tradition), boasts an all-star cast of contributors, from L. Frank Baum and Bret Harte to Clive Barker and William Gibson. The cover art of a Santa unloading his sack before a tree and fireplace, with a wizard, a robot and an elf secretly watching in the background, nicely captures the book's otherworldly holiday spirit.
