Crimson Hollies

Meet Angelika Grays, Alyssa Bounty, and Annalisa Atomic Blonde — three stepsisters decked out in holiday cheer. Alyssa and Annalisa can barely contain their giggles about twinkling lights and last-minute shopping trips, while Angelika stands off to the side, arms crossed, scowling like a disgruntled accountant auditing Santa’s books. She hates Christmas. Calls it the planet’s biggest con job. So far, so normal. But normal doesn’t last long. Angelika has a secret side hustle: two smirking alter egos cooking up festive revenge the way other people bake cookies. Spiked eggnog here, ruined stockings there, the usual. She thinks she’s two steps ahead—until it turns out Alyssa and Annalisa have been planning something that makes Angelika’s little schemes look like elf pranks. Sinister. Slick. Shared behind smiles and matching ugly sweaters. Betrayal crackles in the air like bad wrapping paper. Angelika ditches the candy-cane mask and dives into outright war. Every smirk, whispered secret, and perfectly aimed mistletoe booby-trap brings the holiday cheer crashing down in flames. Loyalty? History. Trust? Tinder. Who survives Christmas morning is anyone’s guess, but one thing’s for sure: the milk and cookies left for Santa just got a whole lot darker.
