Online Christmas games

Looking for quality online Christmas games for your kids? These Christmas games are great fun for you and your children!

It's amazing how easily Santa has made the transition from Christmas card hero to an online disco dancer!

You can even build a snowman online these days, or make your own digital snowflake.

How about jumping around in the snow with a bunny and some bells... or opening up a digital Advent calendar and finding today's surprise - cool!

Some of the big sites have taken down their Christmas pages, but there's still some fun to be had - take a look!

Online Christmas games for kids

Help Santa's Little Helper collect as many presents as he can in one minute! A fun game with two levels of difficulty.

UpToTen.com
There are two sections on the holiday page, "Preparing for Xmas" and just "Xmas" and each section contains

• three online Christmas games
• one musical activity
• ...and one animation.

Orisinal - Winterbells
Winterbells from Orisinal is a lovely online Christmas game where your bunny jumps around falling bells, touching them to score.

Not so easy for very little ones, but I think this could be a game that you could play while your child sits on your lap, watching and listening to the wonderful music!

And if you want more from Orisinal, your child can Fly with Santa - it ain't easy, it moves fast, but your 6 year-olds and up will enjoy it! Another Orisinal classic game.

Pingu
It's off to the icy world of Pingo first of all, where you can help Pingu on the Fish Run, choose a jigsaw to complete, with either 4, 6 or 12 pieces to suit your child, or play a matching game with three levels of difficulty.

The new Crazy Sledging game is fun. Choose your character, level and sledge run, then zoom along at high speed to the finish!

Northpole
A nice selection of christmas online games for kids - have fun with the online coloring book, or trim a tree, build a snowman, and try Santa's Secret Village Time Trainer!

Elsewhere on the site you'll find a Disco Dancing Santa to enjoy, a "naughty or nice" quiz for you and your child to do together, as well as many other fun and educational activities.

Make a flake!
Click on "make your snowflake" or nothing happens! Then click around on the paper - the scissors will appear... snip snip... then preview your snowflake. Email or download it! It's worth viewing the gallery as well - you can email or download any of the wonderful snowflakes there.

Here are two build a snowman games:
