Christmas Games for 2023!

-

'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. I highly recommend you play Lake before jumping into the DLC as you’ll uncover answers to questions that were teased in Lake, meet new characters and discover how postal work plays a pivotal role in delivering the Christmas spirit in Providence Oaks.


Everybody Wham Wham

In Everybody Wham Wham you compete to build the best snowman for the Annual Wham Wham the Snowman-Man Snowman Building Festival. There are plenty of villagers to become friends or enemies with because you can actually sabotage your competitors as you compete by stealing their supplies for your own snowman! You can uncover hidden secrets about Wham Wham the Snowman-man throughout the festival but perhaps best of all is the Wham Wham Radio Station playing a collection of earworm songs, especially the main Everybody Wham Wham theme that is sure to get stuck in your head.


The Grinch: Christmas Adventures

Struggling to find the spirit in this holiday season, then perhaps you should join The Grinch in trying to stop Christmas in this festive platformer. In The Grinch: Christmas Adventures you’ll have to be sneaky to steal all the presents in Who-Ville but thankfully The Grinch has some wonderfully awful ideas - like a stealthy Santa costume and a Candy Cane Lasso.

With visuals inspired by Dr. Seuss’s illustrations, and the option for two-player gameplay with The Grinch and Max, perhaps your heart will grow three sizes after all.


A Little to the Left

Cozy gamers everywhere eagerly await news of a potential holiday update for everyone's beloved tidying game. For those who haven't experienced the delightful chaos of A Little to the Left, there are already six Christmas-themed puzzles from the 2022 "Good Tidyings" event awaiting your expert tidying skills. The folks at Max Inferno have continued to drop updates and new tidys for us all to enjoy so let's hope they have one more update for us in 2023!


Your Holiday Classics

And lets not forget your cozy favourites also have their own holiday-themed events.

Animal Crossing has themed furniture and outfits to collect before the Toy Day event starting Christmas Eve where a special holiday-themed visitor arrives on your island.

Along with Cozy Grove, Stardew Valley, Ooblets, Disney Dreamlight Valley and more all featuring their own holiday or Christmas events. You definitely won’t be short on the Christmas spirit this holiday season.

That’s it for my Cozy Christmas list for 2023, if you want to catch me playing some of the holiday-themed games make sure to check out my YouTube channel!

Diamond Hands for Dumb Money 💎🙌

I had the wonderful opportunity to attend an early screening of Dumb Money this week: Craig Gillespie's 2023 comedy-drama inspired by the 2021 GameStop Wall Street takeover. In case this flew under your radar, at the height of the pandemic Keith Gill (aka Roaring Kitty) led a movement of small-time investors who went all in on GameStop stock. Gill would regularly share his market analysis with his YouTube followers and Redditors on r/WallStreetBets leading to a Wall Street squeeze that put hedge funds at risk of losing it all. Dumb Moneys All-star cast The film has an impressive line-up including Paul Dano, Shailene Woodley, Seth Rogan, Pete Davidson, America Ferrera, Nick Offerman, Sebastion Stan and many more. Dumb Money follows this collective cast of hopeful shareholders, based on real-life investors, as they attempt to take on the billionaires of Wall Street. From beginning to end Dumb Money had the audience rooting for the little guys as their investments become less about f

Should you go to SXSW Sydney?

This weekend I spent time all over SXSW Sydney ! SXSW is a week-long festival centred on professional development and networking that started in Austin, Texas and has now landed in Sydney with a plan for a 10-year run. SXSW is described as "An essential destination for global professionals, featuring sessions, music, comedy, film screenings, exhibitions, professional development, gaming and a variety of networking opportunities." What I got up to: I kicked off the week at the opening night of the screen festival with ' The Royal Hotel '. The Royal Hotel follows two American women backpacking Australia as they take up a job in an outback pub for some extra cash. Their unnerving experience is a twist on the classic outback horror genre through the lens of the female gaze. I also had the pleasure of attending the World Premiere of ' Hot Potato: The Story of The Wiggles '! The documentary follows the ups and downs of Wiggles history and brought back so many childh
