What games are there with a christmas'y feel or theme to them? I guess anything involving snow could be considered a contender...

On top of the list : Daze Before Christmas (SNES)

Yeah, only one I can think of is Christmas NiGHTs.

Wasn't there supposedly some kind of option to be able to download a Christmas Tree and place it in the middle of the city in the original Sonic Adventure? The download was only available on Christmas Day, IIRC. Anyone ever heard of this?
I thought it was a pretty damned neat idea.

Not a "theme" but you can change your system's internal calendar to Dec 25 & play as "Christmas Apu" in Simpsons: Road Rage.

Also available:

Thanksgiving Marge
Halloween Bart
New Years Krusty

James Pond in Robocod is all about the joy of xmas. And fish in robosuits.

That bloody awful Southpark game on the N64 had a load of turkies and snow in it. Can't remember if it was supposed to be Christmas though.

In Donkey Kong Country 3 if you type in MERRY at the code screen it makes the music Christmasy and I think the bananas turn into Christmas presents.

Twisted Metal(PS1)

I remember the first TM game took place on Christmas Eve night. And had a slight Christmas/winter feel to it. You can even run over Santa!

Twisted Metal 3(PS1)

Same time frame as the first game, it even has a pretty cool Christmas based level.

Die Hard Trilogy(PS1/Saturn)

The game based on the first Die Hard movie, takes place on Christmas eve night.

That's all that come ot mind at the moment.

I wanted to say Blue Stinger (DC) too.

Secret of Mana has Santa and Rudolph in it.

There's also some Christmas version of Wolfenstein 3D.

Batman Returns for the SNES (I know there are other versions on other systems, but that's the version I'm thinking of) was set during Christmas time since the movie was.

I believe there's a toy level featuring a giant Tin Soldier in one of the levels of the SNES Adventures of Batman & Robin. Not exactly Christmas but it evokes it a bit.

Hey and there's snow levels in Donkey Kong Country!

Christmas is also celebrated in Animal Crossing.

Toy Commander for DC had a Christmas Edition demo. I'm not sure if it ever came out in the US.

Though not a Christmas game per se, Snatcher takes place during December and one location is all decked out in Christmas lights and the BGM for that area is a mix of Christmas tunes.

Too bad the US never got Daze Before Christmas. Apparently SunSoft went out of business before release.

In the Sims Living Large/Livin' it up you can buy a christmas tree, put some cookies out then light a fire and Santa comes and leaves some presents.
