This was one of those games that I enjoyed playing with gaming options where there is an unlimited moves option and those sort of functions I like because I don't like timed or limited moves

I recommend this game!

There is nothing new in this game that isn't in most standard match 3 games that let you earn coins to decorate with and loot for powerups.

It does however reek of cute tiles, an amusing storyline that Santa has nicked off to a tropical holiday and its up to you to save Christmas. You will decorate his house while he is gone. There are heaps of decorations and as you earn the gold to buy them, each item you buy gives you gems to buy powerups. At this point I cant imagine having to buy many as 'in board' power ups are very easy to make with your matches and come thick and fast to explode things.

There are three modes, relax, challenge (limited moves) and timed. Then within those, casual or expert choice. I finished with way too much time in casual. Most levels require dropping things from the board as well as clearing the tiles and collecting a number of specific tiles.

Its nothing new, but it plays smoothly and I really like that the decorations are movable to make Santa's room however you would like it. A good little time filler (or waster) and an absolute eye pleaser. Its totally chock full of Christmas cute. Show less

I recommend this game!

I lov this game ! It's simple but fun.

Clear and crisp graphics, Christmas music, little fun story, three playing modes with two difficulty settings, a room to decorate with movable objets, powerup and 100 levels.

Nice little game. Starts out with Santa going on vacation to get away from it all. Yup right at Christmas [take a close look at Santa in his beach chair LOL]
Good challenges, three modes of game play.
A buy for me.

I recommend this game!

Beautiful graphics, nice gameplay with cool boosters. Music was so-so, but the game is, overall, really enjoyable. Santa is on holiday and you have to decorate his room. Simple yet cute story. A really good game for the season.

Santa has abandoned his post, I repeat, The Big Guy has gone AWOL, we have a Code Blue with Big Red, SCOTUS has left the building, Ho-Ho-Ho is a No-No-Go! Operation Christmas Drop The Ball has been deployed, this is NOT a drill, hold on to your Jingle Bells, grab your Hot Cocoa's, assume crash positions, this is the time to PANIC!

Santa has abandoned his post, I repeat, The Big Guy has gone AWOL, we have a Code Blue with Big Red, SCOTUS has left the building, Ho-Ho-Ho is a No-No-Go! Operation Christmas Drop The Ball has been deployed, this is NOT a drill, hold on to your Jingle Bells, grab your Hot Cocoa's, assume crash positions, this is the time to PANIC!

This is a cute Match 3 game that can be played in a Relaxed, Unlimited Moves Mode, a Challenge Mode with Limited Moves, or a Timed Mode as well as a Casual or Expert Difficulty Mode. There are 100 Levels and 28 Christmas Decorations to purchase with the Diamonds you earn. The Decorations can be moved and placed almost anywhere you want, so I placed the snowman as close to the fireplace as possible, nothing like taking your coals off once in a while, you know what I mean?

The Level Goals require you to make matches over all Gold Tiles, Remove Presents or Keys by dropping them off the board and making matches of specified tiles which are all Christmas related, with Trees, Santas, Stockings, Stars, Candy Canes, Cookies and Cupcakes, Bells, Cinnamon Buns, etc.

There are the usual Obstacles of Wooden Crates, Chains, Snow Cubes, Stone Tiles, Metal Tiles, Ice Cubes, and even Portals that constantly spit out Snow to cover the tiles.

Large Matches earn Bonuses, a Match 4 gives you Dynamite to destroy a 1 tile radius, a Match 5 gives you a Bomb to destroy adjacent tiles, and a Match 6 gives you TNT which destroys a 2 tile radius.

You can purchase Power-ups to use on pesky tiles such as a Hammer to remove a chosen Obstacle, a Pickaxe to remove a single tile, a Snowman to Shuffle the board, and a Shooting Star to remove all of the same kind of tile. Each Power-up can be purchased with the Diamonds you earn in increments of 12/32/57.

I found the music to be a little too repetitive so it would have been nice to have a few extra soundtracks added into the mix. It's a cute game, a somewhat easy game to master but I haven't played all of the modes so perhaps another mode setting would be more challenging Merry Christmas :) Show less

I recommend this game!

Based on playing demo, played in relaxed mode.

After 3 or 4 levels I thought this game was going to be pitifully easy, for the kiddies, but then I was pleasantly surprised. Level of challenge is no more or less than any of the popular M3 series offered here - and the cute, clear icons are all Christmas themed.

After 3 or 4 levels I thought this game was going to be pitifully easy, for the kiddies, but then I was pleasantly surprised. Level of challenge is no more or less than any of the popular M3 series offered here - and the cute, clear icons are all Christmas themed. Music is relaxing, gameplay is nice and smooth, no waiting for tiles to finish dropping before making another match, plentiful bonuses to explode and hazards to use them on. You earn points to purchase holiday decorations with -- Santa's on vacation (at this time of year?!?) and you're decorating his living room while he's away.

I was enjoying myself, feeling all Christmasy, so was disappointed when the demo ended. So nice to play after another hectic day getting ready for the big holiday. I recommend you give the demo a try and see if Santa's Holiday makes you feel as "jolly" as did me :-) Show less

I recommend this game!

So far I am enjoying this game to the point I am willing to buy it. It's fun to not only buy decorations but to be able to put them where you want them. Some sort of change-up would have been nice. Mini-games? My hope is that it does not develop into one of those games where the levels get so difficult a person just quits. So far I don't see any signs of that happening.

I recommend this game!
