Christmas Video Games

 

During the holiday season, maybe you're not into watching Christmas movies or Christmas specials.... or maybe you've just outgrown them. But, you still play video games, right?


If you want to play something Christmas-ey, try some of the games on our list. Each of these games have scenes or stories that take place on or around Christmas. But, to enjoy some of these, you might have to hook-up some of those old consoles!

You play as Kevin, and you must keep the Wet Bandits busy while you wait for the police to arrive, while setting traps and finding shortcuts. The police will arrive in 20 minutes, and you're on your own until then!


Other Home Alone games also existed around the same time for SNES, Sega Genesis, and more.

Daze Before Christmas (1994) for Sega Mega Drive/SNES

This Christmas-themed game was only released in Australia for the Sega Mega Drive, and was ported to the SNES only in Europe and Australia.
