It’s hard to believe that it has been ten whole years since DC Comics released the fan-favorite Larfleeze Christmas Special!
This one-off holiday title was jam-packed with a fun little story starring everyone’s favorite Orange Lantern plus a ton of other stocking stuffers for DC Comics fans. This title was released at the height of the Green Lantern brand’s popularity following the Blackest Night storyline, while the Lantern Spectrum was in full swing. These days, the other Lantern Spectrums rarely seem to get mentioned! It’s kind of funny how much things can change in just a decade.
Arguably the best treat to be found in The Larfleeze Christmas Special was a special recipe for Larfleeze’s Orange Lantern Cookies! These are the very same cookies that Larfleeze himself baked, and in a shockingly un-greedy move, actually left out for Santa Claus.
Now you too can make your own Larfleeze Orange Lantern Holiday Cookies with this handy recipe that Geoff Johns thoughtfully included in this now-classic holiday special.
