    Hola,

    Perhaps its the nostalgia of my childhood but every christmas I tend to replay games that have a certain part of Christmas theme at some point in the game. Just wondering if anyone else does this? I tend to shy away from multiplayer and just have some single player fun (apart from the Christmas parties :P)

    EG: Every year I replay the PS1 Die Hard game
    I play Croc too, just for the Winter maps
    Animal Crossing - For the Christmas Events

    For nostalgia
    I play through as much of FFVII as I can
    I play through the AOE II campaign and mods

    Freezeezy Peak in Banjo Kazooie is the ultimate Christmas level for me.

    That Diddy Kong Racing Track with the little X-Mass lights on the House and I think there was a loop-the-loop part in the level

    Mario 64 with the Penguins you had to Shepard around

    I try to save whatever Zelda has come out over the year for the Christmas break.

    And a game of SFII on Christmas day for sure.

    I'm buried in FF7 again on the PS4

    Also will do Half-Life 1 (picked up the ps2 version for couch comfort - great port) followed by a playthrough of Black Mesa Steam version. Heard there's huge improvements over the modded version.

    I enjoyed playing skyrim last Christmas, particularly when it snowed ingame :)

    Terraria has a big Christmas theme that kicks in between Dec 15th and 31st. Bunnies wear Santa hats, baddies drop presents with Christmas outfits and candy cane swords in them. Santa can even move into a free house.

    Very fond memories playing Die Hard trilogy.
    Every level was literally a level in the Nakatomi plaza, starting at the basement. Really satisfying feeling clearing each level.

    Plus the shooter game in the airport. Now that was fun! I still have the gun.

    I did the advent calendar on December. It was awesome. No other game is more Christmas with the exception of maybe Robocod.

    Not really a Christmas game but PGR4 Xbox snowing on the Nurburgring or any track

    I was going to reply with Christmas nights but it seems so many other people have a good taste in games too!
