Animal crossing new horizon, the second best selling game for the nintendo switch, is a chill RPG game that follows you as a human moving to an island where all your neighbors and friends are anthropomorphized animals. You use all the natural resources to build your furniture, and you go fish or catch bugs to sell and collect money. The world is quite literally your oyster in this game. The way it changes for the holidays in December is that the island starts to snow! Another way that it changes is the special recipes for special furniture. There are also shop changes and outfit changes for the special season, with special appearances from special seasonal characters to represent elves, reindeer, and even Santa himself. There are many fun activities you can also do, like build snowmen that come alive, catch snowflakes, and deliver presents. 

The hit game, The Escapists, is all about breaking free! In this game you are arrested and taken to prison. You, as the prisoner, have to make silly decisions, interact with your fellow prisoners, and make clever disguises to escape the jailhouse. You can do this by looking in people's drawers and making phony keys, pretending to be an officer, or even making grappling hooks. This game features two special holiday maps: Santa's Shakedown and Snow Way Out. This game changes in many ways, like your prisoner's jumpsuit getting changed to a holiday-themed onesie, guards wearing festive headwear, and even a special cameo from Santa Claus himself. Nobody said that Santa was on the nice list, however...

Fortnite is one of the most well-known free-to-play games in the history of gaming, being the most downloaded free game on all consoles and the highest-grossing free-to-play game for in-game currency. There are infinite ways to play Fortnite, with one being Battle Royale. In this mode, you and 99 other players jump out of a battle bus and onto an island to one by one eliminate each other until one is left to get the victory royale. When this game changed for the holidays, the island would have two to three holiday-themed areas where you can find Christmas trees, special characters, and even presents from Santa. When you even get a victory royal, they would play Christmas music to celebrate your win! During the holidays, there is a special event that happens called Winterfest. This even allows you to log in every day and get free prizes like avatars and dances. 

HAPPY HOLIDAYS
