The best Christmas games on PC 2024

What are the best Christmas games? For many around the world, Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year. We take a break, spend time with the family, open presents, eat copious amounts of food, and dedicate time to tackle at least one game in our bulging backlogs.

There's a whole bunch of Christmas games out there if you know where to look. From big open-world games you can play through from morning to night, short narrative-driven games to fill the spaces between mince pie feasting, or multiplayer games to play with the family, whether that be online or together on the couch. From fictional end-of-year celebrations to rescuing plague-ridden cities, videogames offer numerous ways to experience the joy of the season.
