Christmas Themed Games

[starseeker300]

What are some good Christmas Themed games you all know of. Only one that comes to mind for me is "Christmas NiGHTS into dreams"

daze before christmas

Not really christmas themed but i always replay Parasite Eve during this season, purely because the game takes place on christmas but it's never the focus

Do Christmas themed rom hacks count?

 

[Clippy]

PC games used to have Christmas themed expansion packs or demos for lots of games. Lemmings, Jazz Jackrabbit, Happyland Adventures, Jetpack. Even Duke Nukem 3D had one (though I would stay away from it, it's pretty bad). Santa Claus in Trouble and its sequel are decent platformers as well.

Another gold mine for Christmas themed stuff would be Flash games.

Still Life 1... kind of.

Made it awhile ago and one day want to update it because I can do better now.

There are tons of other Christmas indie games on this site too


Also, Shenmue 1 is Christmasy when you get to December

 

[Cu-Neo]

A great god of war/DMC 1 like game. And it was made by Capcom Studio 3!

It's hard though, I can only name a few games that have a few Christmas level theme. Or I guess South Park counts?

The entire Winter chapter of Bully is a good cozy Christmas adjacent game. I used to have a save game for each season on my PS2, but it has been a while since I last played.

I also think the Wii/360/PC ports have extra Christmas content, but it has been a while since I played anything other than the PS2 version.

Bayonetta 2, especially the intro sequence A World of Chaos :]

 

[elehayyme]

Hatoful Boyfriend Holiday Star (yes, it is odd but it is holiday themed).

 

[OpossumQueen]

Played christmas nights this morning on the saturn with my partner! I trend towards sega stuff so blue stinger (dreamcast) and snatcher (sega cd or msx) are the others that immediately come to mind, esp ra de (arcade and modern platforms) too kiiiinda. And there's the christmas dlc for sonic adventure 1 on dreamcast!

Bayonetta 2 is a great Christmas game. The opening captures the Xmas magic quite well, honestly.

 

[Adrastia]

Dual Hearts has a Christmas themed area.

Do Christmas themed rom hacks count?

sure! as long as you would genuinely recommend them

Parasite Eve.

AKA The Real Devil May Cry 2

It introduces mechanics that would re appear in dmc4 and bayonetta

The DLC for Costume Quest is "Grubbins on Ice" and it's kinda Christmas themed? You still go trick or treating but it's snowy and I feel like dudes are dressed up as santas and whatnot. Also, Raw Danger for PS2 takes place at Christmas, but it's about a flood destroying an entire region, so it isn't really festive, heh.

I've played Earthbound Holiday Hex, Super Mario: A Christmas Walk, SMW: Christmas Edition, Super Mario Bros. 2 Christmas Edition, Mario's Christmas Quest, Pokemon Christmas Hack, Toad's Christmas Adventure, Super Santa Bros., though not a rom hack, I've also played Snow Bros, though I haven't played any of these rom hacks lately.

The whole game isn't Christmas themed, but one level in Elite Beat Agents is and it's amazing.
