Christmassy Tales was a 2020 anthology written and self-published by Paul Magrs.[1]
Many of the stories within the anthology made use of licensed DWU elements.
Miss Baumgarten's Trolls featured David and his Mam and her boyfriend Brian, who were previously seen in Fanboys.
The Everlasting Match Girl featured Toaster, who previously appeared in Sick Building.
Baubles featured the Christmas Hotel, which had appeared in Brenda's B&B.
Fester and the Christmas Mouse featured Panda and the in-universe versions of Paul Magrs and Jeremy Hoad, their families, and their cat Fester. Party Like it's 1979 also used elements and characters from The Story of Fester Cat.
A Tingle of Happiness was a crossover between the Iris Wildthyme and The Brenda and Effie Mysteries series, further adding to the heap of evidence to show that the series share a universe.
