It's the year end cosplay on the couch celebration. Share your cosplans for 2026. Let's chat about upcoming 2026 cons, cosplay and more. What was your favorite cosplay or event of 2025? Do you have any holiday events? What shows are you watching? Show & tell your cosplay any theme: Winter, comics, ugly sweater ideas, anime, Krampus, decorations, socks, etc. Show off items you made or bought. Bring a project to work on or watch others.
