'Animal Crossing: New Horizons'
The first game on this list is "Animal Crossing: New Horizons," which provides a merry vibe even outside of the holiday season. This Christmas time, the game becomes an even more solid option to bring cheers to you and your loved ones with fun games and cool outfits.
The game replaces Christmas with "Toy Day," which is a non-denominational celebration that brings players' villages together via the magic of gifts. Throughout the month of December, you can dress up in unique Christmas-themed outfits, collect gifts, and decorate your town, according to Games Hub.

This December, you can explore "Disney Dreamlight Valley's" special Frozen-themed land, which features snow, castles, and a lot of festive magic shenanigans. You can also take some time to chat with Jack and Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas.

'The Nightmare Before Christmas: Oogie's Revenge'
This particular game was inspired by the film of the same name, where Jack Skellington is tasked with stopping Oogie Boogie from taking over Christmas. This Capcom-developed game mixes hack-and-slash elements and takes inspiration from the "Devil May Cry" franchise.
Players are able to experience combat mechanics that are somewhat unpolished to the game's age but happen in a backdrop of vibrant atmospheres and familiar characters, RBC-Ukraine said.

Parasite Eve
Last but not least is "Parasite Eve," one of Square Enix's lesser-known RPG franchises. While it never reached the popularity of the "Final Fantasy" series, it still made a name for itself and has a cult following.
The game's story begins on Christmas Eve, which is the reason for the title, and continues for several days. Players can even see the streets adorned with Christmas decorations as well as the iconic Christmas Tree at Rockefeller Center, according to Game Rant.
