Best Christmas Slots – 12 X-mas themed slots to get in the Holiday mood
Who doesn’t enjoy the Christmas days? People don’t refer to the Christmas time as the ‘’most wonderful time of the year’’ without a reason. Christmas is connected to many positive things including having lovely dinners, seeing friends and family, and enjoying gifts. Most people also have more free time during the Christmas time which makes it perfect to enjoy some slots from time to time. To inspire you for the upcoming Christmas days we have decided to put together a list of the best Christmas slots. This list contains recently released titles but some classic as well.
1. Santa’s Stack – Best Christmas Slot by Relax Gaming
One of our favourite new Christmas slots is Santa’s Stack by Relax Gaming. This X-mas themed video slot is also very volatile and offers a maximum win of 1 million euros.
While spinning the reels of this fun game you can bet with a minimum of €0,10, and up to €50 for high rollers. This slot game is played on a big grid of 8 by 8 symbols. On this grid you will need to make clusters of 5 or more matching symbols to win a prize.
Santa’s Stack offers two great features. The first feature is the Secret Santa Re-spin Feature. You can activate this feature by landing a winning cluster that links up with a Wild symbol. Once this happens the winning cluster will transform in mystery symbols and a re-spin will be awarded. Every time the mystery symbols link up with a new win a re-spin will be awarded. Once all re-spins are finished all mystery symbols will reveal one and the same matching symbol for a big win!
Three second feature which you can trigger during Santa’s Stack is the free spins bonus. To trigger the free spins feature you will need to land three Christmas trees on any of the 8 reels. You can also buy the bonus for a total of 100x your bet.
The free spins feature normally consist of a total of 5 free spins. If you land additional scatters, you can get extra spins, a multiplier or both extra spins and multipliers. During free spins you can also get additional scatters to boost you free spins amount or multiplier.
During free spins the Secret Santa feature is active and Wild symbols are guaranteed during any spin. The number of guaranteed Wilds that land every spin increases during every spin of the bonus. Landing 60 or more Santa symbols you will earn you 10.000 times your bet. Good luck and let’s enjoy this game during the most wonderful time of the year!
- Win up to 20.000 times your bet.
- DreamDrop Jackpot integrated, win a progressive jackpot over €1 million.
- Multiple features available.
- Attractive look.
- Missing the classic Christmas feel.
2. Santa’s Great Gifts – New slot release by Pragmatic Play
Santa’s Great Gifts is the new Christmas slot release by Pragmatic Play. This game looks and feels very similar to some other Pragmatic titles such as Gates of Olympus and Sweet Bonanza.
During the main game Christmas symbols will drop in the grid and they will pay anywhere they appear. Match a minimum of 8 of the same symbols to get a prize. All winning symbols will be removed after they have paid, and new symbols will drop in the grid.
During any moment you can land Christmas presents in the slot which offer multipliers. The multiplier will multiply all your winnings which you had during your spin. Multipliers come as low as x2 but can go up x100 during free spins.
If you hit four of more scatters you will trigger the free spins mode. Depending on the number of scatters you will get 10, 15, or 20 free spins. During free spins you need to collect multipliers to level your bonus. The higher level you reach, the higher the multipliers will be. For example, in level 1 you can get multiplier between x2 and x100 while in level 4 you will get multipliers between 50x and 100x.
Landing three additional scatters during free spins will trigger 5 additional free spins.
If you like you can place a special bonus bet during the normal game. This will boost you chance of landing free spins.
- Win up to 5.000 times your bet.
- Place a bonus bet to improve your chance of landing free spins.
- Fun free spins feature with progressive multipliers.
- Quite volatile which results in many bad bonuses.
3. Sweet Bonanza Xmas
Sweet Bonanza Xmas is basically a Sweet Bonanza copy with a new Christmas theme. Just like during the normal game you will be able to win prizes by collecting 8 or more of the same matching symbols in the grid. Winning symbols will be removed after paying and new symbols will drop in, possibly creating new wins.
If you hit four or more snowy lollypops, you will go into the free spins feature. During free spins you can hit high multipliers, upgrading your prizes by up to x100. By hitting good wins, and multipliers after that, you can win huge prizes. If you land three scatters during free spins you will receive 5 additional free spins.
The maximum win during Sweet Bonanza Xmas is very high, up to 21,100 times your bet. The RTP of this game is 96,51%.
I don’t find Sweet Bonanza Xmas very fun to play, but if you manage to land a bonus, things can be become very exciting very quickly.
- Win up to 21.100 times your bet.
- Massive multipliers during free spins.
- Runs very smooth.
- Not very exiciting except for the bonus.
4. Christmas Big Bass Bonanza – Big Bass Bonanza in Christmas style
The Christmas Big Bass Bonanza slot is just what you expect. You copy Big Bass Bonanza and swap all symbols with Christmas like symbols. Christmas Big Bass Bonanza features a sleigh, Christmas balls, and a fishing great box full of Christmas presents.
Just like normal Big Bass Bonanza you need three or more scatters to trigger free spins. During free spins you need to hit Santa’s to collect fish. Each Santa will collect all cash prizes in the screen. By collecting enough Santa’s you can retrigger 10 free spins with a higher multiplier level. The multiplier level can go up to x10 which makes any decent cash prize a big win.
While playing Christmas Big Bass Bonanza you will be able to win up to 2100 times your bet. This is lower than the normal game, but you will have a better shot on decent wins.
- Win up to 2.100 times your bet.
- Bonuses land quite often.
- Fun free spins feature with a progressive multiplier level.
- Maximum win is lower than during normal Big Bass Bonanza.
5. Santa’s Big Bash! Megaways – Best Christmas slot by Iron Dog Studio
With over a month to go before Christmas Iron Dog Studio is definitely not late to the party with their new Christmas slot game. This popular game studio released Santa’s Big Bash! Megaways, a fun-filled Christmas themed video slot game.
Santa’s Big Bash! Megaways is a typical volatile slot game. The game offers a minimum bet of just €0,20 per spin, and a maximum of €20 per spin at most top slot sites. This makes the game suitable for players with any budget.
While playing this Christmas slot you can trigger free spins by hitting consecutive wins or baubles during the main game. You will need a total of eight wins in a row to trigger the free spins bonus. Any bauble that lands in the slot will help you with lightning up two or three baubles in the three.
During free spins you will enjoy unlimited multipliers and locking reels with up to 7 symbols. Rudie the Reindeer and Magic Baubles will also help you hit bigger wins. Extra spins can be won, or additional wilds will be added to the slot to hit extra prizes.
If you are not willing to play for a long time to unlock the free spins you can also buy them for a maximum of 250x your bet. This will give you a total of 12 free spins with 3 locking reels with the maximum number of symbols.
All in all, this game is very entertaining, and it offers you a maximum win of 25.000 times your bet. Because of this is think you should try it out during the Christmas days.
- Win up to 25.000 times your bet.
- Unlimited multiplier during free spins.
- Gameplay not as smooth as we would like.
6. Moon Princess: Christmas Kingdom by Play’n Go
Play’n Go decided to turn a classic slot game into a Christmas version for you to enjoy during the holidays. Instead of the regular Moon Princess slot you can now also play the Christmas Kingdom version of the game. Just like Moon Princess this new slot game is filled with features. You can for example enjoy an uncapped win multiplier and up to 150 free spins.
While spinning the reels of this Christmas slot you can bet from as low as €0,20 up to €100 per spin at most online casinos. The main goal of the game is to line up three matching symbols horizontally or vertically to create wins. Every win with 3 symbols will create a wild symbol that can create more new winning combinations. When you have a winning combination on a mistletoe symbol the multiplier will increase by x1.
Each non-winning spin can be subject to a random feature. The modifiers love, star and storm can always be triggered randomly. Each feature has its own unique effect. This includes converting matching symbols into other symbols, adding up to two wilds to the slot, or removing up to two different symbols.
When a Scatters symbol appears anywhere in the grid you will enjoy the Trinity feature. The trinity feature will trigger all girl power feature in one round including Love, Star and Storm. When you clear the entire grid during this feature you will trigger the free spins feature.
After triggering the free spins feature you can choose your own girl power for the feature. Depending on the feature you pick you will get 4, 5 or 6 free spins since each feature has its own maximum potential level. During free spins you can retrigger up to 4 free spins per scatter up to a maximum of 150 free spins.
And additional prize of 50 times your bet can be won by clearing the whole grid during the free spins feature. On top of this the win multiplier will not reset during free spins and the number of mistletoes on the grid is doubled. While spinning the reels of this Christmas slot you can win up to 15.000 times your bet. Pretty interesting right?
- Very entertaining game.
- Great graphics and animations.
- Win up to 15.000 times your bet.
- Not unique, just a ”Christmas” copy Moon Princess.
7. Saint Nicked – New Christmas slot by Blueprint Gaming
This year another new Christmas slot got launched by Blueprint Gaming. Saint Nicked offers you up to 3125 ways to win. Go on an adventure with a drunken Santa and Rudolph and who knows you will be able to spread the joy of Christmas while enjoying some big wins.
Saint Nicked features a 96,25% RTP and a maximum win amount of 5000 times your bet. The game is quite volatile and doesn’t offer bonuses very often. You do win quite often in the base game according to my experience.
During the main game you can enjoy various features. This includes random multipliers, free spins, extra winlines, a happy hour bonus, your personal advent calendar, and plenty more.
I played Saint Nicked for some time and I must say it was very entertaining. A lot happened at any moment, there was never a dull moment. Although this is the case prizes seemed a bit low and it looks hard to hit a feature which gives you the potential to win ‘’bigger’’ prizes.
I guess this game comes down to taste. Some people will love this Christmas slot, but I bet others will be done with it very quickly. Give it a spin and find out what players you will be!
- Win up to 5.000 times your bet.
- Many fun small features.
- Up to 3125 ways to win.
- Can be hard to win anything decent, even during the bonus.
8. Buffalo Power Christmas by Playson
Playson might have been the first game providers to have released a Christmas slot this year. Buffalo Power Christmas was already released on November 15th.
Buffalo Power Christmas is the X-mas version of the Buffalo Power Hold and Win game. You can play this game with a minimum bet of €0,20 per spin and you can bet up to €100 per spin. The maximum win during this game is a stunning €118.700.
While playing Buffalo Power Christmas you need three mountain symbols to trigger free spins. The free spins bonus consists of a total of 8 spins. Only during the free spins mode you can land a special stacked wild, which multiplies your wins by 2x.
When you hit 6 or more cash prize values during the main game you will also enter the bonus game. During the bonus game you need to collect cash prizes and coins to unlock the jackpots. The highest jackpot which you can collect is a 500x win jackpot. You will get three re-spins every time you hit a new prize or coin.
In my opinion Buffalo Power is not the best Christmas slot since it is simply an adjusted version of a normal Playson game to attracted players that are into Christmas games. Personally, I would prefer to try any of the custom Christmas games.
- Fairly easy to unlock a feature.
- Just a ”Christmas” copy of a game.
9. Secrets of Christmas – Classic X-mas themed slot by NetEnt
In this list we have already looked at some new Christmas slots such as Santa’s Stack and Santa’s Big Bash! Megaways, but there are of course also some great classic X-mas themed slot games available. One of my favourite classic X-mas themed slot games is Secrets of Christmas by NetEnt.
Secrets of Christmas is a classic video slot which features 5 reels, 3 rows and a total of 25 paylines. During the game you can land Santa symbols anywhere on the slot which acts as a wild. Wilds will substitute for any symbol accept Scatters.
The main feature of this Christmas slot is the free spins feature. You can unlock this feature by landing three or more scatters. During free spins you will enjoy a total of 10 free spins. But before your free spins start you can unwrap some gifts:
- You can pick 3 Christmas gifts when you hit 3 Scatters;
- You can pick 4 Christmas gifts when you hit 4 Scatters;
- You can pick 5 Christmas gifts when you hit 5 Scatters;
Under the tree you will find a total of 20 gifts so there is plenty choice to choose from. Each present will gift you an additional feature during the free spins. Possible gifts are additional free spins, wild reels, multipliers, and additional wild symbols. By hitting a good selection of extra features, you can increase your chance of landing massive wins. In my opinion it is best to get one or two wild reels and an additional multiplier of x2.
In my opinion Secrets of Christmas is one of the best Christmas slots around. The main reason for this is that this game has a great theme, the right look and feel, and all the Christmas references you need. Try out this game at one of our recommended new slot sites and win up to 35.000 coins!
- Great look and feel.
- Exciting free spins bonus.
- Fairly easy to land good wins.
- Not as volatile as other Christmas games.
10. Santa’s Wonderland – New Christmas Slot by Pragmatic Play
At Pragmatic Play they have developed a brand-new video slot for the upcoming Christmas season. This new slot game is called Santa’s Wonderland. While spinning the reels of this game you can bet from €0,20 per spin, all the way up to €100 per spin. With a maximum win of over 7.500 times your bet you can win over €750,000 in a single spin at most online casinos.
Santa’s Wonderland takes place on an 8 by 8 grid. During every spin the grid will be filled with Christmas objects such as baubles, Santa’s, teddy bears, and golden airplanes. To win you money will need to cluster matching symbols. Each cluster of 5 matching symbols will get you a prize. And the more matching symbols you get, the better the prize. Winning symbols will disappear after the prize have been paid out and new symbols will tumble in the grid.
During the game the Santa symbol will acts as a Wild. Santa symbols can only appear during the Wild Santa or Lucky Santa feature. The Santa symbol will substitute for any other symbol.
Each win that happens on a coloured field will trigger a feature. A blue coloured field will trigger a refresh of the grid. A purple field will trigger Wild Santa, which turn all instances of a random symbol into wilds. A red field will supersize a random symbol up to 3×3, 4×4 or even 5×5. A green field will trigger lucky Santa, which drops up to 15 wilds in the screen. The final feature is the Blocks feature, which is triggered by a yellow-coloured field. This feature drops random blocks of 2×2 matching symbols into the screen.
Each winning spin will also fill a special meter. The more symbols you remove, the faster the meter fills. When the meter is filled in one spin you will trigger the midnight riches progressive feature. This feature will start at level 1, and it will trigger all features and modifiers with a multiplier level up to 3x. By removing enough symbols, you can trigger the next level which offers you a higher multiplier level. The maximum multiplier level which you can enjoy is 15x. This will seriously boost your possibility of hitting massive wins.
- Trigger over 5 modifiers and fill the meter for free spins.
- Win over 7.500 times your bet.
- Very volatile, hard to trigger the bonus.
11. Xmas at the Cabin – Christmas Slot by Lady Luck Studion
To be honest, Lady Luck Studios was a new name for me and because of this I was quite curious about their new Christmas slot called ‘’Xmas at the Cabin’’. This new slot by Lady Luck Studios is a medium volatile game which is suitable for any player. You can spin the reels of this game from as low as €0,05 per spin up to €90 per spin. The maximum win is €22,500 which equals 250 times your bet.
Xmas at the Cabin is played like a traditional video slot with 5 reels and a total of 3 rows. You can win prize on 15 paylines by lining up matching symbols. Xmas at the Cabin also features a Wild symbol which substitutes for all symbols accept the Scatter. To make your life easy you can use a turbo spin setting and an auto play setting to make the slot spin itself.
When you land three bonus symbols anywhere you will trigger the bonus game. During the bonus game you can pick three out of twelve boxes to collect wins. Each present represents a certain cash prize.
Xmas at the Cabin also features a free spins mode. If you land three scatters you will get 10 free spins. Additional scatters will give you 12 or 15 free spins. During free spins you can also trigger 5 extra free spins by landing three more scatters.
A fun and traditional feature of the game is that is also offers you the chance to gamble winnings. You can gamble your winnings up to 4 times per round. This means you can gamble your prize to be worth 16 times more.
- Runs smooth and good design.
- Low maximum win.
- No special features during free spins.
12. A Christmas Carol Megaways by Pragmatic Play – Based on the Charles Dickens Book
The last Christmas slot I want to highlight for now is A Christmas Carol Megaways by Pragmatic Play. The main reason for this is that I think this game is simply very exciting, and it is very volatile. This means you can hit massive wins up to 20.000 times your bet.
During the main game you can hit big wins by lining up the same symbols on the Megaways. This game comes out the box with a total of 200.704 possible winlines. Because of this any spin has the potential to be a massive win. Although this is the case this game is all about the free spins feature in my opinion.
You can trigger free spins by landing four or more scatters. The scatters is represented by the golden watch symbol, which is present on all reels. Depending on the number of scatters you land you can start with up to 23 free spins and a starting multiplier up to 10x. Before each free spins feature you can choose whether you like to get more spins, or a higher starting multiplier. Whatever you choose is a personal choice in my opinion.
In order to improve your odds of winning free spins you can place a ‘’ante bet’’. When placing this special bet, you will pay a bet multiplier 25x instead of bet multiplier 20x, in order to double your chances of getting free spins. I like to give this option a shot from time to time if the free spins bonus is hard to land.
During free spins you will enjoy up to 23 free spins, an unlimited multiplier, and additional free spins for extra scatters. The potential of this game is massive since you can win up to 20.000 times your bet.
Although the game is aimed on the Christmas period, I think it doesn’t look typical Christmas-like. The game and the characters in the game are based on the book ‘’A Christmas Carol’’ by Charles Dickens.
Personally, I think this is a fun game which is very exciting due to the big wins you can hit. The game doesn’t offer too much Christmas feelings, but it sure has plenty references.
- Over 200.000 winlines to win massive prizes.
- Unlimited multiplier during free spins.
- Runs smooth and great graphics.
- Hard to trigger a bonus.
13. Santa’s Wild Ride
Microgaming has introduced a Christmas-themed video slot titled “Santa’s Wild Ride” to celebrate the holiday season. With 243 paylines and a cheerful Christmas tune, players can bet between €0.30 and €7.50 per spin, aiming to win up to 1,900,000 coins and trigger up to 25 Free Spins, along with the exciting Free Gift Bonus.
The game’s 243 paylines increase the chances of winning, paying out only for adjacent symbol combinations from left to right. The highest combination per symbol combination is awarded. Notably, the Santa symbol offers significant rewards, paying 100 coins for four in a row and 200 coins for five. Other high-paying symbols include the Christmas lady, North Pole, Motor, and Maintenance Guys symbols.
In addition to regular payouts, players can land multiplying Wild symbols, which pay 800 coins for five in a row and offer random multipliers of 2x, 3x, or 4x when completing a win. The Free Spins feature, triggered by landing three, four, or five Scatters (The Blitzin Symbol), awards 25 Free Spins. Before starting, players can choose between three special features: Stacked Wilds, Expanding Wilds, or Trailing Wilds, each offering unique benefits.
During the Free Spins feature, all wins are doubled, but retriggering the feature or landing base game Wilds is not possible. Although landing more than three Scatters does not award additional spins, players receive a small cash prize of up to 50 coins.
14. Santa’s Free Spins
Today, I decided to give the new Christmas-themed video slot “Santa’s Free Spins” by NYX Interactive a try at Videoslots Casino. Despite exploring its features and starting to spin the reels optimistically, I quickly realized that luck wasn’t on my side. In this article, I’ll share my experience and insights into this holiday-themed game.
While playing “Santa’s Free Spins,” winning involves connecting symbols to earn money. The lowest-paying symbols include presents, while the highest-paying ones are the Santa’s Free Spins symbols, offering the chance to win up to 500 coins per line. Wilds on all reels substitute for symbols except the Scatter.
Regarding its aesthetics, the slot’s design and sounds are rather ordinary, with outdated buttons and somewhat repetitive audio. I’d be curious to hear others’ opinions on this aspect.
In a video showcasing gameplay, I also demonstrated the free spins feature, which is triggered by landing three or more scatters. Despite the possibility of significant wins with stacked Santa symbols, my experience with the free spins bonus was underwhelming, yielding only a small win with a €0.90 bet.
The game offers additional features like stacked Santa symbols during the base and bonus games, and random reel bonuses initiated by Santa himself. However, these bonuses felt lackluster, and sometimes, Santa’s appearance didn’t lead to any rewards.
For players looking to increase their chances of triggering the bonus feature, there’s the Fortune Bet option, although it comes at an extra cost. Quickspin, autoplay, and sound options are also available for customization.
Unfortunately, my winnings during the gameplay session were meager, with only one free spins bonus and minimal returns. Additionally, I couldn’t find information on the maximum win, and the game’s payout percentage of around 94.8% was disappointing.
