The ten Yuletide yarns in this collection are:

Part 1: Seasonal Stories from St Oscars

Part 3: Holiday Stories from Legion

Bernice Summerfield and the Christmas Adventure by Xanna Eve Chown Helping test a festive VR game should be fun - and Bernice considers herself a bit of an expert on 20th Century traditions. But as she explores a virtual Christmas in this odd little basement on Legion, it’s possible she might have bitten off more than she can chew...

White Christmas by Victoria Simpson Life on Legion is full of surprises. But when Bernice is mistaken for a theatre critic in an odd version of the Bing Crosby classic, set in an industrial hangar – the surprises take a turn for the sinister...

Part 4: Festive Tales from the Unbound Universe

Wise Women by Q Bernice’s plans to join her friend Gilly for a traditional Qiyotian holiday is scuppered by a less-than-festive crash.
