'Tis the season to unwind and cozy up with games that capture the holiday magic! Whether you're nestled in for wintry Northern nights or seeking a cool escape from Southern summer heat, join me as we explore games that embody the enchantment and warmth of Christmas. You can also watch this list on YouTube to catch some game trailers! Lake Season’s Greetings In a prequel DLC to Lake, It’s Christmas time in Providence Oaks 1985. In Lake, Season’s Greetings you take on the role of Meredith’s dad, Thomas Weiss, and will be treated to a warm reunion with Providence Oaks and its inhabitants.

You can build storerooms and decorate customer areas, hire and fire staff, buy fantasy brews, search for hidden coins and so much more. One of my favourite details was the sarcastic narrator who helps you set up shop. Given Ta
