There&#8217;s nothing really &#8216;new&#8217; in it other than the Christmas Trappings, but Lemmings is a brilliant game so who cares right? It&#8217;s still Lemmings. Lemmings + Christmas. Christmas Lemmings. Look I&#8217;ve run out of things to say already.<\/p>\n<p>Oh but the Lemmings have little Christmas outfits, and frankly if that&#8217;s not enough for you to want to play this, then I don&#8217;t know what to say to you.<\/p>\n<h2>The Elder Scrolls: Morrowind &#8211; Bloodmoon<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12632\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/uncle-sweetshare.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"890\" height=\"273\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&#8216;But Alex&#8217; I hear you cry, &#8216;Skyrim is the snowier game&#8217;. Yes, you&#8217;re right, there&#8217;s much more snow in Skyrim. But the Bloodmoon expansion to Morrowind has plenty of weather, and more than that, it has Father Christmas!<\/p>\n<p>Well, Uncle Sweetshare anyway.<\/p>\n<p>A cheerful fellow who makes sweet sweet candy and likes nothing better than to give &#8220;candy to all the boys and girls&#8221; in Fort Frostmoth. The only small downside of this is that his candy might be a little addictive and poisonous. So it&#8217;s on you to go put an end to his fun-loving ways, by whatever means necessary.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s more Christmassy than peeling the Colovian Fur Helm off the corpse of a deluded poisonous drug dealer? Nothing!<\/p>\n<h2>World of Warcraft<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12633\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/winter-veil.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"890\" height=\"273\" \/><\/p>\n<p>World of Warcraft is quite un-Christmassy most of the year, but in December it ramps up the Crimbles with the Feast of Winter Veil.<\/p>\n<p>Cities and towns the world over (and also maybe some other worlds linked to Azeroth) are given a Christmassy makeover, and the capitals of each faction get special Christmas-themed quests, like everyone&#8217;s favourite &#8216;oh no, I deleted my Graccu&#8217;s Mince Meat Fruitcake, GM!&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>Find Metzen, spread cheer, make some cookies, and on the special day itself you can even open some presents from underneath the giant Winter Veil Tree.<\/p>\n<h2>Elf Bowling<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12634\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/elf-bowling.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"890\" height=\"273\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Elf Bowling is a series of games where you bowl at some elves.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s it really, but it&#8217;s quite Christmassy and there&#8217;s Christmas stuff and you&#8217;re Christmas elves and. Well. You get the idea.<\/p>\n<p>Elf Bowling. Bowl at some elves. Can I stop writing yet.<\/p>\n<h2>James Pond II: Operation Robocod<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12635\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/james-pond-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"890\" height=\"273\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Christmas is under attack, so the only logical thing to do is put a fish in a robot suit and send it into Father Christmas&#8217;s castle to jump on everything in sight.<\/p>\n<p>Look the 90s were a different time OK?<\/p>\n<p>Featuring no small amount of chocolate-based product placement, this Christmas fish adventure is a surprisingly robust platformer. Playing like a mad dream of a Super Mario game, you can jump on things, climb in vehicles, stretch your body to ridiculous lengths, and have a dance party with some penguins.<\/p>\n<p>This game is also remarkable for the time esteemed astronomer Sir Patrick Moore, in his guise as GamesMaster, had to tell kids how to activate cheat codes for it.<\/p>\n<h2>Duke: Nuclear Winter<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12636\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/duke-winter.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"890\" height=\"273\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Go back to all your favourite locations, like the red light district, or Hollywood, and blast aliens in them again but with a Christmas theme! Duke&#8217;s back baby, in this Winter wonderland expansion to Duke Nukem 3D. You also visit many Christmas locations, which of course Duke treats with respect, reverence, and kindness.<\/p>\n<p>And also a foot, one-lines, and a shotgun to many faces.<\/p>\n<h2>Jazz Jackrabbit: Holiday Hare<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12637\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/holiday-hare.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"890\" height=\"273\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Another entry from the early 90s, the first Holiday Hare spinoff was a shareware episode that featured new levels for the platformer classic, all with a Christmas theme. THEN we actually got Holiday Hare 95, a year later, this time featuring even more Christmas levels featuring everyone&#8217;s favourite green rabbit. AND THEN Holiday Hare 98 happened for Jazz Jackrabbit 2, and EVEN MORE holidaying happened when The Christmas Chronicles, a remake of Holiday Hare 98 came out.<\/p>\n<p>Eventually the original Holiday Hare got incorporated into the main game as episode X, bringing the number of episodes in Jazz Jackrabbit up to ten.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s my list of best Christmas games, so you should have EVERYTHING YOU NEED to play something to get you in the mood for Crimble joy.
