“ Great. Another "holiday" set for a sport that ends before December even begins. Card designer's 13-year-old nephew has been busy with Photoshop again! This time with the added bonus of a creepy Santa peeping on Mike Trout! ” -Theron_Nett

“ Call me a Scrooge, but I never really found the Topps Holiday cards all that appealing. Santa peeking through the hedge, however, is very funny. Too bad it's a short print, so it's harder to find than the other version of this card. ” -Bowersbird

“ These Holiday variants are so stupid, but I love them. ” -jackal726

“ What is this? Baseball and Christmas (or December holiday season, whatever) don't seem to go together. I just noticed the Santa photo bomb. Still don't like it. Give me an NFL card, please. ” -freakizon

I am happy to see that I am not the only one who thinks that these "Holiday" sets in baseball is a really dumb idea. I could see the other 3 big sports as they play through the festive season but baseball is a spring-summer-fall sport. Make a Thanksgiving / turkey set for baseball if you really have to.
