re: the best Christmas games are additional content for or reskins of existing games, I think that can be chalked up to dedicated Christmas games generally being made as quick; cheap disposable entertainment by seemingly inexperienced or underpaid staff, while the reskins/expansions+DLC are made to be legitimate enjoyable demos or level packs/whatever by often the same people as the original game (or at least a team that is still decent at making games.
There's no reason a Christmas game _has_ to be bad or anything, but it seems few devs/studios want to make a real (for lack of a better term) Christmas game; perhaps because of the perception that Christmas games are exactly the thing I mentioned, or just the more pragmatic reason that people rarely have any interest in playing a Christmas game or even Christmas-themed content for a game out-of-season. I mean, at least a Halloween game would have appeal year-around to some extent.

you're the reason I got into retro computers and into 3d printing (partially, my architecture teacher is also to blame) I got a ender 3 and I'm planning on printing a callisto II from thingiverse and putting actual computer parts into it.
Here's five bucks towards me (maybe) making two and sending one to you!

It's from the 90's but a DOS game called Jetpack. It's on shareware sites, but the Christmas version is a little harder to find. In short, it's a Lode Runner clone that features a jetpack for traversing the level's harder to reach areas without ladders.

3: 02 Since when did Cave Story become a top-down RPG instead of a side-scrolling Metroidvania? Are they trying ride the coattails of Undertale, a game that was so heavily inspired by Cave Story that the two titles are literally synonyms of each other?

Yaaay: D Christmas LGR truly marks the holiday season is upon us! It became a tradition for me to rewatch, among others, the 90s Nonsense: the WizardWorks Holiday Collection CD-ROM video because it s just sooooo genuinely entertaining and jolly: D

That 3 yr old will always faintly remember that train game, and will spend a couple decades trying to find out what it was. I know. it happened to me as a kid with Cannon Fodder 2 lol. Took me 20 years to connect the dots.

You can always tell if it's a Christmas episode by the very start.
Still, I will be going through this list as you did and further explore. so possible thanks?
In any case, happy early holidays!

So LGR I hate Christmas and Christmas related things, can't explain it entirely but it's been like that for most of my life but I always look forward to your Christmas content. Thanks I suppose.

Check out Mission in Snowdriftland - it started as a Nintendo-commissioned webgame as a countdown to Christmas (Advent Calendar style) and then became it's own game. It's a good platformer.

I not sure why but that Christmas Horror game seems really familiar. It might just be that it looks like a lot of the first-person games that plague Steam's horror section these days.
