Marvin’s Mittens isn’t strictly Christmas themed, but it perfectly captures the wonder and joy of playing in the snow! This game is a 2D platformer that captures the nostalgia of a childhood spent playing in the snow. Explore the world, and collect magic snowflakes in a hand-drawn environment. 

Explore a soothing world free of enemies and danger as you run around Marvin’s Mittens on a joyous adventure. Use your sled to race across snowy landscapes until Mom calls you back home. Collecting snowflakes will let you increase your jump height, allowing you to access more and more as you progress. Find shortcuts to new areas, and revisit old levels to discover what you couldn’t access before. Even sneak up on wildlife to record them in your journal. 

Ultimately, you’ll learn the secrets of snow elf magic and uncover the mystery of your missing mitten while you explore!

Release Date

This charming game is fairly old, actually, but I dug it up because of its perfect winter-themed fun. You can find Marvin’s Mittens on Steam!

I personally enjoy the winter DLC from Overcooked 2 for a little chilly fun!
