The best Christmas levels in gaming

Christmas may only come round once a year but it certainly knows how to make life incredibly difficult. Not only does it force you to brave that familiar chill of winter in order to buy a million presents, it imposes the inescapable dread of spending time with distant family members.

Distant family members who seem forever uninterested in co-op PC games, no matter which way you try to sell them on the idea. Ugh.

But let’s not be so downcast - after all, this is supposed to be the merriest season of them all, right? The holidays make the perfect time for indulging in a few videogames that will help you get through those cold, lazy days.

Make yourself a warm bevvie, light a fire, and get comfy as we run you through some of the best Christmas-themed levels that PC gaming has to offer - some from PC games present, and others from PC games past. As for the future - that will have to wait for next Christmas.
