Is there really any time better than Christmas for the playing of the video games? I don't think so. It is probably as different as people are many, I bet a lot of players have little to no time to play during the holidays, because it is a family season after all. So if at this point you only have the fond memories of playing a special game for Christmas, please share! Along with what you intend to play this Christmas, of course. Who knows, it might give someone else an idea for a good game.
My recent Christmas games have been Marvel's Spider-Man, The Uncharted games, Witcher 3, Hitman, and I do like to get some PES in there as well. But one particular game I really loved and actually played through pretty much from December 23rd to January 1st that year, was Prince of Persia from 2008. A very atmospheric game, and a huge departure from the series, both in structure and aesthetics. Sort of a reboot, and one they would never revisit. I never actually played the DLC of the game, even if it was supposed to conclude the cliffhanger-ish ending of the main game. But I really enjoyed my time with it, and it fit the season perfectly. It's no Sands of Time, and I probably won't ever play it again, but I will always remember it fondly.
To more pressing matters, my Christmas game is still undecided, a first world problem for sure, but a problem none the less! My list so far is
Control, if it goes on sale
Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order, if it goes on sale
Arise: A Simple Story, the Evo-Web's own game (not really but still)
Or something from my shame pile
Horizon: Zero Dawn
God of War
Uncharted: Lost Legacy
