The History of Online Christmas Games
Surprisingly, very few video games have focused on the festive season over the years. World of Warcraft fans have always been logging in at Christmas to enjoy a range of special seasonal quests. The Sims Christmas Edition was a hugely popular Christmas-themed game where players can decorate their Sims’ homes, host Christmas parties, build snowmen and give gifts—a virtual world full of the same Christmas joys as we experience in our real-life homes. Home Alone, the much-loved movie where Kevin McAllister is left behind by his family at Christmas has been adapted into multiple video games, all of them following the same plot of the movie where you have to protect your family home from burglars. For puzzle game enthusiasts, Christmas is always a special time of year. Word games and puzzle games are easily adapted to incorporate Christmas themes. Christmas games can come in as many different styles and shapes as any other game—you just have to add some twinkling sleigh bells and some Christmas trees. There is no shortage of festive games that have been adapted to fit the mood of the season. Check out our festive:

Christmas is a Stressful Time of Year
Although Christmas movies, feel-good commercials and Christmas specials of our favorite shows will make us believe that the world is full of happiness and joy at Christmas, that is not always the case. It can be a relentless time of the year and it can feel there is too much pressure to have a good time. We all need to play games occasionally and to spend time on our own. Our brains and our bodies need some time to relax and find enjoyment. A few minutes during the festive period away from other people is exactly what is needed to make our Christmas as enjoyable and memorable as possible.
Why not get closer to someone by introducing them to your favorite game? If you don’t have money to buy someone a present you could always send them a link to a game that you love. Introduce a friend to a game like Christmas Tree Fun or Christmas Balls and even though you are far away from them (or maybe even in the next room) you will find unique and stress free ways to spend your time at Christmas.
The Christmas games here at GamePix aren’t just for fun either. Not being in school for a period of time can interrupt your learning, so what better way of keeping up to date with Math and spelling than by engaging in some festive-themed word and number games. Your teachers will be so impressed that you have continued learning during your time at home.
