What are the best Steam games to play this Christmas?

1. Christmas Carol

Christmas Carol is a beautiful hidden objects game placed in the middle of Charles Dickens’s novel.

The game is filled with gorgeous scenes and wonderful mini-puzzles for guaranteed fun and a nice story perfect for Christmas.

You will help a businesswoman and mother to find her children by exploring the streets of London in its Victorian age.

You will meet the epic characters from the famous English writer’s novel, and you will even get to speak to the Christmas Spirits.

2. Santa Sling

You know the famous Santa controversy, right? How can he deliver the presents so fast?! Well, we uncovered one possible way: he has a big sling and he is jettisoning them right down the chimneys with pinpoint accuracy.

That will be your exact job in this first-person VR game called Santa Sling. You will be doing the most wonderful and rewarding job ever, delivering presents to the nice kids directly from Santa’s sleigh in a Christmas-themed town.

Don’t worry because the slingshot is also magical so your targeting will also be helped in a certain amount, but be aware, you need to finish the job before Christmas Eve ends!

3. Batman Arkham Origins

Batman Arkham Origins is the only Arkham game, and one of just a few major titles that take place during Christmas Eve. The whole city of Gotham is covered in snow and decorated with Christmas lights and ornaments.

At the end of the day, Batman Arkham Origins is not as bad as some people label it. It even has a few recognizable Batman moments.

So, it’s worth considering this game as a pick for this Christmas, especially if you haven’t played any game from the franchise yet.

4. The Escapists – Santa’s Sweatshop

Contrary to the majority of Christmas-related games, Santa’s Sweatshop doesn’t show Santa Claus as such a delightful creature.

If you’re familiar with the original game, you know it’s one of the best prison break simulators. Well, you do the same thing in Santa’s Sweatshop, only playing as elves trying to escape cruel Santa’s workshop.

As this is a DLC, all the elements from the standalone game stay. You’ll still have to find your way out crafting various tools and finding security holes in Santa’s factory.

Santa’s Sweatshop is available for free on Steam, but to play it, you need to own the original game.

5. Castaway Paradise

Castaway Paradise is a delightful life simulation game perfect for the holidays, catering to a variety of tastes.

Set on a tropical island, it offers an escape from winter’s chill, letting players enjoy sunny, vibrant gameplay. Prefer snowy adventures? No problem—there’s a DLC that transforms the island into a magical winter wonderland, complete with Christmas vibes.

The game lets you build structures, craft items, and interact with quirky villagers, offering more activities than a real tropical getaway.

6. Christmas Puzzle

If you’re a fan of Candy Crush Saga, then you’re going to love Christmas Puzzle. As a player, your task is to collect Santa’s coins and prepare your house for Christmas with beautiful ornaments and illuminations.

When the situation gets complicated, you can use incredible power-ups to blast through the puzzles.

The game’s soundtrack is seasonal and relaxing, and collecting the coins to decorate your house is really fun. If you’re looking to get into the Christmas spirit, grab this game and hit the play button.
