The 12 games of Christmas: Our favorite festive games

These are the Christmas games to get you in the holiday mood this season.

Viscera Cleanup Detail

This makes perfect sense if you think of it almost as a direct consequence of the previous game's Christmas party, cleaning up after Killing Floor players dressed as Santa have finished their spree. The added Santa’s Rampage level really adds to the roleplay experience with elf and reindeer parts scattered across the toy workshop for you to methodically and cathartically clean away. Perfect training for the wrapper cleanup operation on Christmas morning after you’ve torn into all the presents under the tree.

PowerWash Simulator

If that's a little too much gore for your cleaning tastes, then PowerWash Simulator has a similarly themed new free DLC in which you clean up Santa's Workshop after the elves have made a mess. A nice, methodical, calming way to get through the stress of the Holidays.

Super Mario Odyssey

If you’re getting a Switch for Christmas you’ll be very pleased to know that Mario Odyssey already has your Christmas-themed level needs covered. Shiveria, the Snow Kingdom, features delightful knitwear on the locals, and santa hats for the baddies and a sleigh-bell soundtrack throughout. Come for the cosy timber interiors but stay for the weird seal-ball races.
