I know there aren’t that many, but at least there’s a few. I’m not including games that take place during the calendar year either in real time (like Animal Crossing) or not (like Persona).

  • Christmas NiGHTS into Dreams: pretty self-explanatory, it’s also included in the later console ports, although it’s missing the cool presents you could get, including being able to play as no-copyright himself.

  • James Pond 2: Codename: RoboCod: takes place in Santa’s castle and you have to save Christmas.

  • Yakuza: surprisingly many of them take place at Christmas.

  • Daze Before Christmas: a platformer for the Mega Drive and SNES that’s not particularly good.

  • Xmas Lemmings: basically demos of Lemmings with Christmas-themed levels, there were a bunch of these for PC and Amiga.

  • Tyrian: Originally a DOS shmup that was released as freeware and now has open source ports, there’s a Christmas mode that activates if the system clock is set to December. I’m pretty sure there were other DOS games with Christmas modes too.

  • Duke: Nuclear Winter: a Christmas-themed expansion for Duke Nukem 3D.

    Doesn’t it also have a Batman/Joker Pieta-ish image somewhere towards the end? I can see where that all blurs together as “Christmas” in my half-remembered memories.
