Summary

The author's description:

Our guys embark on a cross-county trip to spend Hanukkah with Starsky's mother in New York and Christmas with Hutch's family in Duluth. What ensues is a journey that includes meeting new people and a couple of brushes with crime. They also spend time confronting old ghosts from their pasts, coping with the ups and downs their jobs have put them through in the past couple years and still find time to have some fun as tourists. The story focuses on the power of their friendship to pull them through some difficult times, includes some h/c, hopefully a few laughs, a lot of holiday cheer and no slash.

A Proposed Zine with the Same Title

A zine with the same title was proposed in 1993. It was to be a one-shot, holiday-themed Starsky & Hutch anthology published by Londa Pfeffer.

From a flyer: "This is not just a Christmas zine, any Holiday will do. How about Arbor Day (involving the tree Hutch gave Starsky?) The Fourth of July (memories of childhood, for example?), Halloween (scary stories, or humorous?) And, UK and overseas fen ---- It's not just US holidays wither. So, put on some thinking caps. Poems, vignettes, short stories, S&H as kids, episode fill-ins. Now, don't tell me you don't have any ideas. No graphic sex please.... To be published in conjunction with FRIENZ."

This zine was not published.
