1. Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales

Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales is a great action RPG game that players can play during the holiday season. The events of the game mainly take place around the holiday season. Players can wing across the snow-covered New York and fight crime to spread good during this Christmas. The winter theme is not just cosmetic; it is integrated into the game’s narrative.

1. Fortnite

Fortnite is by far one of the most innovative games out there. The game has recently been pushing back-to-back feature updates with way too much happening in the game. From Blackholes that eat the whole map before an update to outfits of people like MrBeast, Fortnite never fails to keep the players entertained. Epic Games just dropped 3 mini-games that players can download on their online store.

Players can play Fortnite across many platforms like PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X/S and many more.

1. Stardew Valley

Stardew Valley is another game that players can play while relaxing. Reminiscent of Facebook’s Farmville, this game is a simple life simulator where gamers step into the shoes of a character tasked with inheriting their late grandfather’s farm. The farm is situated in a place called Stardew Valley, hence the name of the game. The farm is located in a charming rural community with various environments, like forests, caves, and beaches. This is yet another game that can be enjoyed over the holiday season as the game gets events for Christmas and New Year.

1. Minecraft

Minecraft is the most popular game on the planet with over 300 million copies sold to date. This game has the crown of being the most-sold game of all time. This game beats the myth of graphics being the main reason for the success of a game. Minecraft consists of different colored blocks which can be mined and used to build interesting things. Over the years the game’s community has exploded and it comes with many mods and add-ons to enhance the experience. Minecraft also brings in holiday events that give players more content and themed gameplay to enjoy.

1. RuneScape

One of the longest-running MMOs, RuneScape has been around since 2001. The game has been constantly providing players new updates for the last 22 years. In RuneScape, players dive into a fantasy world where they can interact with other players, go on quests, and battle mythical creatures. The devs still support the game and have regular holiday-themed updates. Players can join guilds and play with a large team of players, or log in for some solo quest running, making it a fun game to spend time while being indoors during the cold winters.

All these games will give players the feel of the holiday season. With so many good options, let us know which games you will be playing through December in the comments below.
