With Christmas just around the corner, we can start preparing each of our devices for the event, setting themed backgrounds, changing the ringtone and, why not, playing some video games inspired by Christmas and its classic characters (Santa Claus, elves, etc. ).If we don't know which games to install, we have prepared a small collection of the best in this guide Christmas themed games app downloadable for free for Android devices and for those who own an Apple (iPhone or iPad). In this way, we will be able to spend the most boring moments of the holiday season by playing fun titles, suitable for children of all ages.
We just have to wish you a Merry Christmas and happy holidays!
Types of Christmas themed games available
Christmas is a particularly heartfelt holiday for children, because Santa Claus arrives bringing gifts to everyone!
Santa Claus thus becomes the undisputed protagonist of the Christmas-themed games available on all platforms.
As a genre instead we find:
- Simulativi: it might seem strange but there are games available in which we can record a personalized voice or video message to have it repeated by Santa Claus "in flesh and blood", so that the children will be amazed to hear their favorite speak with a lot of name, surname and date of birth (so you can be sure the message is addressed to them).
- Fake calls and messages: The simplest apps simply allow you to emulate a fake call from Santa Claus or the reception of messages in which Santa Claus notifies of his arrival and of the gifts he has prepared for the little ones.
- Strategic: some games require you to manage the village that Santa has at the North Pole, so that he can generate enough gifts for all the children in the world (Farmville style). This type of games are obviously reserved for slightly older children, as they require skill and attention.
- Joking: shave Santa Claus!
Other types of games are designed to entertain children with some tricks such as removing the beard of Santa Claus or his collaborators with a razor. Obviously nothing vulgar or bad, just games that can make a child smile.
- educational: These games allow young children to learn numbers, shapes and colors using Christmas characters as a basis, so that children can learn while having fun even under the Christmas holidays.
After having seen together the types of Christmas themed games that can be found in the vast world of apps, below we will find what we believe to be the best Christmas themed games apps for Android and iOS.
1) Talking Santa Claus (Android and iOS)
