Cozy Christmas games
Games about making things: pictures, sweaters, cookies and toys.
- MerryKins Coloring has 30 winter scenes to color, from snowmen, kittens, puppies and bear cubs to a Christmas tree and Santa Claus with the Snow Maiden. You get a pencil, fill, eyedropper, eraser, several brushes, copy and paste and undo, plus a random fill mode, festive music and the option to save your picture as a JPG.
- DIY Ugly Christmas Sweater lets you design ugly sweaters for three friends going to a holiday party. Pick the colors, add trees, reindeer, snowmen, lights and bows, then finish each look with a hairstyle and accessories.
- Soft Christmas Cookies puts you in the kitchen with Santa. Follow the steps, bake the cookies, shape them, color them in and decorate the table at the end.
- Christmas Factory makes you Santa running a toy factory against the clock. Move the line of elves through each step, from the order form to making the toy, wrapping it and filling the sleigh, before Christmas night.
Christmas puzzle games
- Santa's Quest is a sliding-tile puzzle. Slide road tiles to build a path that gets Santa to the goal; stone tiles do not move. Try to win in as few moves as possible, and use a hint when you are stuck. There are levels in three modes.
- Jingle Juggle Merge asks you to drop ornaments and merge identical ones by clicking where each should fall. Do not let the pile cross the Max line, and keep merging until you make the final prize: Santa Claus.
- Pop-Pop Jingle is a match-3 puzzle shooter with more than 100 festive levels. Connect three or more identical baubles to pop them. If the baubles reach the bottom or the time runs out, you lose, and finishing faster earns more stars.
- Xmas Match Deluxe is a classic swap puzzle. Swap two neighboring gifts to line up three of a kind, and collect the required number of gifts within a limited number of turns. Collect more than five gifts to earn a spell you can drag onto the board.
There are many more swap-and-match boards in match-3 games.
Christmas arcade games
- Downhill Christmas Dash puts Santa on skis. Race down the hill collecting gift boxes and steer clear of the snowmen: bump into one and you fall. Winged boots raise your speed and your gift score, and a golden star makes you invincible for 8 seconds. Steer with the left and right arrow keys or the on-screen arrows.
- Mission Santa: Deliver the Gifts puts you in the sleigh on Christmas night. Click or press Space to drop a gift, or tap on a phone, and aim for the chimneys: the harder the chimney, the more points it scores.
- Santas Snowy Sprint sends Santa across snowy rooftops. Leap over chimneys, dodge icy obstacles and collect the gifts along the way, with power-ups such as magic sleds and flying reindeer. Play with the arrow keys.
- Christmas Defense is a tower defense game. A band of marauders is coming for the gifts, and you place towers on the snow to stop them before you start each wave.
- Christmas Snowball Arena is a 3D snowball battle against nine other players. Collect snow to make your snowball bigger and be the last one standing. Drag or swipe to steer.
