Online Christmas Games

Welcome to some great online Christmas games for kids

With kids in danger of getting alternately over-excited and bored at this time of year, I thought I would put together a collection of the very best Christmas-themed games to keep them happy, calm and quiet while passing the time until the big day.

I've tried to exclude games which produce pop-up windows or excessive advertising. For most of the games you will need to have Flash installed on your computer.

I hope that you and your children enjoy playing these games as much as I do!
