Play Christmas Craze Online

"Christmas Craze" on the SNES is one of those games you stumble on during a lazy December afternoon—like digging up a forgotten holiday decoration that somehow still sparkles. You play as Santa (or a surprisingly nimble elf) sprinting through snow-covered rooftops, grabbing presents while dodging rogue snowmen and overenthusiastic reindeer. The controls are simple, but those elves throw a mean snowball when you least expect it.

The music nails that jingly, slightly off-key Christmas vibe, and the pixel art has this cozy, mittens-and-hot-chocolate feel. It’s not some epic platformer, but there’s something satisfying about nailing a tricky jump just as the timer’s about to run out. Perfect for when you want something festive without the stress of, say, untangling actual Christmas lights.

Honestly, it’s the kind of game you play once a year and then spend the next 11 months vaguely remembering how weirdly fun it was. The sleigh physics are ridiculous in the best way.
