Link to the comic for your convenience

Please only comment with ONE hidden detail or reference!

There is one Loss, one Balthazar and one crewmate. Bonus panels don't count.

1:
In the first panel, Funky Kong is wearing a juit: a jeans suit.
2:
Toro and Kuro, the two PlayStation mascots, are wearing matching tuxedos and getting presents from Thor Santa in the first panel.
3:
Isaac (from the Binding of Isaac) is also among the smol characters getting presents from Thor Santa in the first panel. Yeah, I figured he deserved a break, Lord Circe.
4:
And so is Malo, from Twilight Princess! Love that little freak.
5:
Dedede is pissed that Thor took his job as Santa in the first panel. To be honest, I think Dedede would have been a fine Santa, Zach.
6:
An Assassin's Creed assassin is visible in the second panel. You can spot his hidden blades. I'm assuming it's Ezio, personally.
7:
Ms. Pac Man got invited to the party to, and she's kissing her husband in the second panel. Cute huh, Percylegallois?
8:
There's also a crewmate at the bottom of the same panel. Just chilling out at the party, hopefully not murdering anyone, Spirit of Gotham.
9:
We can also spot Sekiro/Wolf's shinobe prosthetic and his katana in the background of the second panel. And that's exactly what Secretly5ft3 did.
10:
You're the first one to mention Rottytops (Shantae), Chris Rose. She's next to Sekiro in the second panel.
11:
Luke, from Street Fighter, is making the same face as he does on the cover of Street Fighter 6. Glad you got that referencce, Fighting Master! Although I probably shouldn't be surprised given your name.
12:
Paya from Breath of the Wild is comforting Isabelle in the third panel.
13:
A Spark from Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope and Bub from Bubble Bobble are looking on as Isabelle is crying.
14:
A baby Maushold member got launched by Sonic arriving in Paldea in the sixth panel. Hope he survived, Tejayes.

There's a lot going on in the final panel, like:

15: The Maushold mice changed their "clothes", but it's very hard to spot. Instead of the shirts and trousers they normally wear, they are now wearing faint tux and dress prints.
16:
Sprigatito, being a cat, is chasing after the Maushold that are investing the Smash house, and one of the Maushold kids is hiding behind his fellow mouse Pokémon Pikachu for protection, as mentioned by Generic Hero.
17:
Cloud and Sephiroth still hate each other's guts, as is evident by the looks they exchange as Sephiroth is stepping out of the portal. Good catch, Supercharged (CEO of 9-Volt).
18:
As promised, Isabelle 2 came to visit the Smash house! She's to the left of the final panel, next to Cloud. Glad you noticed her, LadyValerie!
19:
Jin Kazama is at the party, and he's visible surprised/upset that his dad just stepped out of a portal and joined the festivities. Good eye, William Dryden.
20:
Luma is still on the top of the Christmas tree. It was moved there in the previous comic.
21:
Squirtle and Quaxly are squaring each other up, since they're both water starters. I hope they'll become friends too, UnSaxon51.
22:
Kazuya is about to step on a grub from Hollow Knight. RIP.
23:
This week's loss is visible in the musical notes above Byleth, with the rest signifying the lying figure. This is one of my personal favorite losses yet, Trigger.
24:
Fuecoco is singing along with the choir, on Dark Samus' head. This is definitely a hint to his eventual evolution, Aaron Brown and Edgar Castro.
25:
Byleth taped Jigglypuff's mouth shut to prevent everyone from falling asleep, as pointed out by Cameron Devera.
26:
And my boy Balthazar is visible behind Incineroar in the final panel. That's two Christmases without him, A Sad Fat Dragon with No Friends :(

Comments

And Wooden Plank refuses to let her talk. Much to my irritation.

Liam Funnyman

Little Maushold mouse got yeet'd by Sonic

Tejayes

Dark Samus is singing in the choir despite never having spoken so far in this comic series

happy pasta

I spy Rottytops from Shantae series in the second panel.

Jon Brouse

I mean, Google “Sonic doesn’t take off his shoes” and you’ll see for yourself. I promise you’ll get an actual source on this and not just… y’know. Stay away from images on this one.

Strengthening Weakener

also jin seeing kazuya and going 'oh shit'

Hatsune Miku Pipe Bomb

agent 47 in the white suit with the knives in one panel along with i think eithery rottytops or ms fortune?

Hatsune Miku Pipe Bomb

Paulutena has some Christmas colors going on with her red dress going with her green hair.

Tomerate

That can't be right, though. He wore a pair of Soap shoes in Adventure 2, remember?

Generic Hero

Sekiro(wolf) is chilling in the back of panel 2 with ezio and some zombie/patchwork person.

I hate that this makes sense but I'm still disgusted by it

UnSaxon51

Let's hope he get a good quality 4 item. Perhaps Brimstone or Revelation.

Chj92

I hate the fact that I know this, but the reason Sonic isn’t wearing different shoes to match his outfit is because… according to Sonic Team producer Takashi Iizuka, Sonic has never taken off his shoes. He’s canonically bound for life to the same pair he’s worn since 1991.

Strengthening Weakener

Heh, I must be playing Pokémon too much, as I first read your comment as "Dedenne glaring".

Lord Circe

Squirrel just wants to make sure Sephiroth's new friend isn't a bad influence. Sure, he's massively overstepping, but at least he has good intentions.

Calvin Barbanell

Is the star with antennae in panel 3 a luma in a costume? If not, what is it?

Calvin Barbanell

I love that Issac, from Binding of Isaac, was invited in Panel 1, and is getting a present. Poor guy deserves some happiness for the grimderpness of his games.

Lord Circe

Last panel Jin is *very* excited about the impending family reunion. Also it's not a detail I think but Chell's dress design is great

William Dryden

It looks like Quaxly doesn't think much of Squirtle and vice versa. Hopefully they can see past their differences; it is Christmas after all.

UnSaxon51

Cloud and Sephiroth glare daggers at each other when Sephiroth is taken to the party.

Supercharged (CEO of 9-Volt)

Dedede's glaring at Thor for taking his role as Santa

Zach

I see Luke from street fighter is making his funny cover face

Fighting Master

In pannel 7 kazuya is about to step on a small critter holding a champagne glass

Tora

Having Fuecoco join the choir in the final panel since it's evolution line (mainly Skeledirge), are known for their singing Also, is that Rottytops in the top right of the second panel?

Edgar Castro

Isabelle 2 is at the party at the panel where Inceneroar and Kazuya are getting to the party. She's near Cloud, who's not happy Sephiroth peaked his head through the portal, as Isabelle is giving Sonic a kiss for getting the trio to the party.

LadyValerie

Fuecoco learning torch song earlier than usual?

Aaron Brown

I miiiight be overthinking it, but maybe the fact that Chell doesn't say anything in the strip is a reference to how she doesn't speak in Portal and Glados calls her mute?
