Topic: Best Christmas themed games/levels?

Please provide nominations for games, or levels within games, that provide a good hit of festivity.

I can think of plenty of games with winter/snow themed levels, but I'm finding it difficult to think of any great examples of Christmas references.

Obviously, putting Christmas in a game might limit your market due to religious differences, but there must be some good stuff out there somewhere...

I'd love to see a Christmas DLC track for Mario Kart 8, where you're either racing round a giant decorated Christmas tree, or across a Christmas dinner table, with loads of interactivity with the environment, bells, tinsel, prickly holly... aaaaahhhh.

In my opinion, Christmas Nights into Dreams is the best kind of a Christmas level.

@NintyMan: is that Christmas, or just winter?

@NintyMan: Yeh, I'll give you that.

On Sonic All Star Racing Transformed on Wii U there's a Billy Hatcher wintery/christmasy level that always makes me feel warm inside.

It's Nov so I'll recommend the Pikmin 3 DLC in a months time

I don't think anything tops Christmas NiGHTS, but DKC3 has the Merry code that makes the bonus levels Christmas-themed.

Also, A Christmas Carol is surprisingly good for a licensed game also about Christmas. I got it as a stocking stuffer a few years ago and it was a fairly solid point-and-click adventure with hidden objects. It also includes the actual Christmas Carol novel for some reason. If you can find it for $10 or less, I'd recommend that one.

Personally, any of the DKR snow levels.
The atmosphere is great, the design is awesome and DAT MUSIC!

I always liked what World of Warcraft does for Christmas. All the towns in the game are decorated, and vendors sell Christmas type items and heck they even have a Santa Claus type character come around and give you gifts.

A couple of the levels in Shake It have that Christmasy music going on. lol

The very first world in Gex 3 (PS1) takes place in the North Pole/Santa's Workshop. (though I never got through it, due to the very archaic camera control)

Also, there was some PC game I played many many years ago, that I think was like a 3D Pac-Man type game, that had a Christmas motif. I totally even forgot about it until I saw this thread, and I have no idea what the name was (or if it was entirely Christmas themed, or if that was only one level/world).

Christmas Nights...oh wait somebody already said that one...then i guess home alone 2 on the genesis since it takes place during christmas (1 does as well but you cant really tell by the game).

For me it would have to be Winter Mesa from Spyro: Season of Flame, and Winter Park Zone Act 1 from Sonic 4: Episode 2.

Mostly the Spyro one though, it has lots of snow, tiles that look like presents, and tress with colorful lights all over.
Winter Park Zone has lots of snow and trees, but the amusement park in the background ruins the mood a little bit. XD Still reminds me of Christmas, though! Probably because of all the bright lights everywhere.

Batman: Arkham Origins is my Christmas game for the Wii U because it takes place on Christmas Eve.
Donkey Kong Country 3 is a VC choice that will turn festive with "MERRY" as the name in the file select screen.

There was also a Christmas Lemings and a Shareware game Jazz Jackrabbit that had a Xmas edition.

I still think about the Xmas themed Pikmin 3 DLC level. It's quite pretty to look at.

Aint nuthin better then this game for Christmas~

Talos Princible with all the easter eggs in snow level - so much christmas

The one in Bully where you get to beat up dwarves and assist a drunken, homeless Santa.

That evil Santa from SEGA's Toejam & Earl!
