Ho Ho Ho Tower

*UK Licensed Casino

When it comes to Christmas-themed slots, few game developers do it better than Elk Studios.

Ho Ho Ho tower is the singular best Christmas game. 

This is thanks to its fantastic HD design and the fun; exciting feel you’ll experience the moment you first load up the slot.

Ho Ho Tower is a sequel to the hugely popular Hong Kong Tower, and the game – regardless of whether it’s feeling naughty or nice – is capable of dishing out some great wins in both the base game and the main bonus round. 

Like many slot games from ELK, Ho Ho Tower doesn’t have a conventional payline structure, and wins are formed by simply matching three or more symbols that touch each other from left to right. 

If you’re wondering about the theme of the slot, here’s what the game developer has to say:

“Christmas in Hong Kong is nothing short of spectacular. Surrounded by towery high skyscrapers, this is the time when the world’s largest permanent light and sound show has its peak. This is when The Symphony of Lights casts the colours of Christmas over the buildings to keep the city warm at night.”

By landing 3, 4, or 5 of the scatter symbols anywhere in view, you’ll trigger the main Wheels of the Sky bonus, which is composed of three different wheels. 

Like many casino games today, the further up these wheels you manage to progress, the better – and you get to keep spinning the wheels until you land on the same prize value twice.

Sweet Bonanza Xmas

*UK Licensed Casino

Sweet Bonanza Xmas is a video slot from Pragmatic Play.

Like Ho Ho Tower, it’s another sequel with the original – Sweet Bonanza – also proving to be incredibly popular among players. 

To be honest, Sweet Bonanza Xmas isn’t much different from the original, although you’ll notice that there are a few differences graphically, including the addition of snow on the reels.

Like the original, Sweet Bonanza Xmas is all about the slot games bonus round, and the features are triggered by landing four or more of the scatter symbols anywhere in view. 

You’ll then be awarded ten free spins. Multiplier baubles can drop down onto the reels during the free spins, with the multiplier attached applying to the win.

Unlike the original, Sweet Bonanza Xmas also contains a feature buy option. You can use this to purchase direct entry to the slot features, and it costs a total of 100X your stake to trigger.

Christmas Megaways

*UK Licensed Casino

Christmas Megaways is a relatively new game – one of the newest slot games on our Christmas-themed video slots list.

While it’s not one of the most popular casino games on this list, we feel that it deserves mention as it’s both fun-to-play and volatile – so there’s plenty of winning potential on offer.

From Iron Dog Studios, Christmas Megaways relies on BTG’s Megaways mechanic, and on every spin, there’s up to 117,649-ways-to-win active;.

The slot is built around a 6-reel format with between 2 and 7 rows active on each spin. 

The RTP of Christmas Megaways is a generous 96.2%, and the max win is a whopping 40,000X – so the slot game is well-suited to those looking for volatile action on the slots.

Christmas Megaways feature cascading reels, but the main attraction is the free spins bonus round triggered by landing four or more successive cascades on the same spin. 

You’ll then trigger the free spins bonus round and there’s a progressive multiplier comes into play here, increasing by +1 for each winning cascade during the free spins.

Holiday Season

*UK Licensed Casino

Holiday Season is one of the most iconic Christmas slots ever produced, designed by a proven game developer called Play’n Go.

The game features a fantastic Xmas-y soundtrack, and this isn’t one of the naughty or nice slots; everything about Holiday Season is pleasant, from the HD graphics to the design of the symbols.

Holiday Season is built around a 5-reel, 3-row format, and there are 10 paylines. The paylines are adjustable, so you can control the slot’s volatility to some extent by choosing to play only one payline if you like. 

The base game contains stacked wilds, so it is capable of dishing out some big wins.

The main attraction of the Holiday Season is the free spins bonus round triggered by landing 3, 4, or 5 of the scatter symbols anywhere in view.

Once triggered, you’ll then be awarded 10 free spins – and these free spins are win-spins, so you’re guaranteed to hit a win on every spin. 

What’s more, during the free spins bonus round, each time you land one of the scatters symbols in view, you’ll be awarded two additional free spins. And if you manage to hit 5-of-a-kind combos of the premium symbols, you can end up walking away with some pretty decent-sized wins!

Polar Paws

*UK Licensed Casino

Polar Paws is a hidden gem on this list.

We wanted to mix things up and show our readers different games; we wanted to feature it as it’s pretty fun-to-play and laid-back. 

Polar Paws is a video slot from Quickspin, and the first thing you’ll notice about the game is that it’s impeccably designed.

There’s plenty of bonuses and features to look out for in Polar Paws, and the first is the wild multiplier feature. 

During any game round, landing one of the wild symbols anywhere in view will add a multiplier to the current win – and if you manage to land all three multiplier wilds, the total multiplier will be worth 4X!

There’s also a free spins bonus round triggered by landing three scatter symbols anywhere in view. 

This bonus will award you with 10 free spins, and during this feature, the Polar Bears turn Wild feature comes into play. 

As you collect the special scatter symbols, you’ll add symbols to a progressive trail, and the further up the trail you get, the more of the premium symbols you’ll transform into wild symbols.

---

Deck the Halls

*UK Licensed Casino

Deck the Halls is one of the most iconic Christmas slots on this list, and this Microgaming classic has been around for many years; it’s built around a 5-reel, 3-row format, and there’s a total of 30 fixed paylines in play at all times.

Like all of the Christmas slots on this page, Deck the Halls comes with a fantastic design, look and feel, and the festive music and animations make you feel as though you’re getting into the festive spirit! 

The main free spins bonus round is triggered by landing 3, 4, or 5 of the scatter symbols anywhere in view, and this will award you with 10 free spins.

During the free spins, bonus rounds, a 2X multiplier will be applied to all wins, and it’s also possible to re-trigger another 10 free spins by landing another 3, 4, or 5 of the scatter symbols anywhere in view.

One thing worth noting is that the Santa wild symbol is stacked during both the base game and the free spins round, and this means it’s technically possible to land a full screen of wilds which results in a whopping payout.

Jingle Bells Power Reels

Jingle Bells Power Reels is one of the more unique Christmas-inspired slots that makes an appearance on this list – and it’s a game you’ll find offered at many of the top casino site platforms. 

Red Tiger Gaming developed jingle Bells Power Reels, and it’s played on a fairly unusual setup which comprises 8 reels and 40 paylines. There are tons of bonuses and promotions to be found in Jingle Bells Power Reels, and the first is the Mega Wild feature. 

When this triggers, you’ll see an animated Santa walking across the reels, and he then drops a gigantic 6X5 wild symbol onto the reels. 

This guarantees you a win, and if you can get the giant wild on the first few reels, you’re guaranteed a big win.

The second randomly-triggered feature in Jingle Bells Power Reels is the Christmas Tree multiplier. Again activated when Santa walks across the screen, you’ll then see a Christmas Tree on the right-hand side of the screen; a multiplier of up to 20X is then applied to your next win.

Next up is the Raining Wilds feature; when this triggers, Santa will again appear on your screen – and he’ll then throw random wild symbols onto the screen, which are either 1X1 or 2X2 wild symbols. Again, this feature guarantees you a win.

With many of these randomly-triggered features, Jingle Bells Power Reels packs plenty of festive punch – but there’s also a main free spins bonus round, and this is triggered by landing three of the Snow Globe scatter symbols anywhere in view. 

You are then awarded 8 free spins, and during the free spins, the mini-features that we just talked about occur a lot more frequently.

It’s also possible to re-trigger the free spins bonus round by landing another three scatter symbols in view; this awards you with five more free spins, and there’s no upper limit on the number of spins you can receive.

Secrets of Christmas

*UK Licensed

Secrets of Christmas is a video slot from Swedish game developer NetEnt, and it’s a Christmas-themed clone of another of the software provider’s hugely popular hits – Secret of the Stones.

The base game has some decent win-potential, but it’s the free spins bonus round that you’ll be wanting to hit, and this is triggered by landing 3, 4, or 5 of the scatter symbols anywhere in view. 

Depending on how many scatter symbols you manage to land, you’ll be awarded either three, four or five picks – and these picks can reveal things like extra free spins, wild reels, multiplier, and symbol transformations.

The spins then play out, and if you’re lucky enough to get a couple of wild reels and a multiplier, it’s possible to hit some mega wins!

Aloha! Christmas Edition

Aloha! Christmas is a video slot from NetEnt – and while it’s not the most intuitive video slot from the software provider we’ve ever seen it gets an honorary mention on this list due to the fact that it’s proved pretty popular among players in previous years – and, as the name kind of gives away, it’s a reskin of NetEnt’s award-winning Aloha! Cluster Pays. 

While the main differences between the two games are simply graphical, NetEnt has switched things up slightly by offering the game in both a regular and a MAX version, and this means there’s significantly more win-potential than the original version of the game. There’s tons of action in the game, the first of which is the mystery symbols bonus.

This feature can trigger in both the base game and the main bonus round, and when they land they’ll all transform to reveal the same symbol. This is a feature that was found in the original game – however, now, the mystery symbols can also transform into multiplier wilds, with multipliers of up to 7X on offer!

Next up you’ve got the Sticky Win Re-Spin feature which triggers randomly during the base-game when no win is formed; when it does, all of the chosen symbols are locked in place and re-spins are awarded. During the re-spin, if you land any additional same symbols they will also lock in place and a further re-spin is awarded. This continues until you fail to land any more symbols, and once the process is finished a random multiplier of between 2X and 7X is applied to your total win.

It’s the free spins bonus round that’s the big attraction in Aloha! Christmas, however, and is triggered by landing three or more of the scatter symbols anywhere in view. You then get to choose between two different free spins bonuses; the first, the Tiki Bar round, awards you with 10 free spins with multipliers of up to 4X.

The second option – and the far more volatile of the two – is the Tiki Bar MAX free spins round which awards you with 6 free spins and multipliers of up to 7X. During both free spins bonuses, you’ll want to collect the Starfish symbols as every time you collect three you will be able to remove the current lowest value symbol from the reels.

Big Bad Wolf Christmas Edition

Big Bad Wolf Christmas Edition is a popular video slot from Quickspin and it sees the iconic video slot from the software provider turned into a Christma version of the game. Big Bad Wolf Christmas Edition is designed around a 5-reel, 3-row format and there are 25 fixed paylines in play at all times. 

During both the base game and the free spins bonus round there’s a very unique bonus mechanism in a play called the Pigs Turn Wild feature. Every time you manage to hit two wins, one of the game’s pig symbols (the higher-paying symbols) will be transformed into wild symbols – and it’s possible to transform up to three of the pigs into wilds which significantly increases your chances of winning.

While there’s some great win-potential in the base game, there’s also a huge win-potential during the free spins bonus round and this is triggered by landing three of the Wolf symbols on the first three reels. Here, you can win as many as 24 free spins, and during the free spins bonus round it’s possible for wins to be multiplied by 2X; this multiplier is unlocked by collecting six of the moon symbols on the 5th reel.

Aside from the exciting gameplay and the decent win-potential in the base game and free spins bonus round, it’s also worth pointing out that Big Bad Wolf Christmas Edition comes with a really high RTP of 97.34%; this is really high, especially for a video slot in today’s day and age, and it’s one of the main reasons why so many players choose to play this great video slot every time Christmas comes around!

A Christmas Carol

A Christmas Carol is a beautifully-designed video slot from a software provider called Betsoft – and while they may not be the best-known game developer in the world, they’re fairly well-known in the Curacao-licensed casino world as their games are readily available to most online casinos.

A Christmas Carol is one of their best casino Christmas games, and this fantastically-designed slot machine is, of course, based around the Charles Dickens novel of the same name. What makes A Christmas Carol quite appealing to players is the fact that it offers you the chance to win up to 513,000 coins – the game’s jackpot – and there are also two fairly exciting bonuses and features including the Past and Future free spins rounds.

There’s also a wild transformation feature that turns all Christmas Present symbols that land in view into wild Turkeys. A Christmas Carol also contains a gamble function that you can trigger after each and every win. If you want, you can choose to gamble your wins by playing a coin-flip game – you simply need to guess whether or not the coin will land on heads or tails, and if you guess correctly you’ll double your win.

While A Christmas Carol isn’t one of those ‘every day’ Christmas slots like some of the other names on this list, it’s well worth checking out if you want to try something a little different – and it’s a great example of what can happen when you make a decent casino Christmas slot.

Santa’s Wild Ride

Santa’s Wild Ride is one of the older casino Christmas games you’ll see here on this list, but it’s a game that’s still frequently played in the run-up to Christmas, and it’s one that’s truly stood the test of time. This Microgaming-powered video slot is built around a 5-reel, 3-row format and there’s 243-ways-to-win so you don’t need to worry about conventional paylines. It’s also packed with win-potential, allowing you the chance to win up to 1.9 million coins!

There’s a ton of action to be found in Santa’s Wild Ride, and most of the action is found in the free spins bonus round which is triggered by landing 3, 4, or 5 of the scatter symbols anywhere in view. Once triggered you’ll be awarded a number of free spins, and during the free spins, all wins are multiplied by 2X. What’s more, there’s a special Free Gift bonus active, and this sees special present symbols added to reels 2 and 4.

When these present land in view, you’ll see them open themselves – and you’ll then be awarded a random cash prize, which can be worth up to 500X. We should also point out that both in the base game and the free spins bonus round there’s stacked, expanding and trailing wilds. In fact, before the free spins begin you’ll be able to choose one of these features – and the special feature that you choose will then be present for the duration of the bonus.

Santa Surprise

Santa Surprise is the first Playtech slot to make this list, and again, it’s quite an old slot machine – so it’s not commonly played every day – but it’s a decent game to check out during those days where you’re eagerly checking your advent calendar, and it’s often offered in conjunction with Casino bonuses at Playtech-powered casinos.

Like most of the casino Christmas games we’ve talked about here on this page, Santa Surprise is featured around a festive look and feel, and an upbeat soundtrack accompanies each and every spin! There’s also plenty of win-potential built into the game, with players able to win as much as 10,000 coins on a single spin! This is achieved by landing a full 5-of-a-kind line of the top-paying symbol, the Santa – and this actually hits more frequently than you’d think!

The main free spins bonus round is triggered by landing 3, 4, or 5 of the scatter symbols anywhere in view, and during the free spins bonus round all wins are multiplied by 3X. What’s more, there’s also a special Christmas Gift Bonus feature in-play, and when this triggers you’ll see Santa appear on your screen. You then get to pick from some presents that appear on the screen, and each pick awards you a cash prize.

Santa Surprise also has a gamble function built into it, and this is a simple black or red card-guessing game; you simply pick whether or not you think the next playing card will be red or black, and if you guess correctly you’ll double your money.

Merlin’s Magic Respins Christmas

Merlin’s Magic Respins Christmas is a video slot from NextGem Gaming, and like many of the casino Christmas games here on this page it’s actually a festive-inspired sequel to the original Merlin’s Magic Respins game – albeit with a Xmas-y touch added to it.

The game revolves around Merlin, the friendly magician – seen to the left-hand side of the reels wearing a Santa’s hat – and the main attraction of the game is the free spins bonus round which is triggered by landing enough of the scatter symbols anywhere in view. During the free spins, once they begin, Wild Merlin – who occasionally appears stacked on the reels – can transform and enchant different symbols, making them go wild and increasing your chances of hitting big wins.

Now, like many of the game developer’s slots, Merlin’s Magic Respins Christmas also contains a SuperBet option. When you play with this option in Merlin’s Magic Respins Christmas your stake size will increase – but it also increases the win-potential of the game. For example, you’ll be given the chance to win up to 5 re-spins every time one of the stacked wilds lands in view – and it’s also easier to trigger the free spins bonus round in Merlin’s Magic Respins Christmas while playing with the SuperBet.

Merlin’s Magic Respins Christmas may not be the most well-known casino Christmas game on this list but it deserves an honorary mention as it’s fun-to-play and offers great win-potential to those who’re lucky enough to get enough of the stacked wild symbols in view!

Taco Brothers Saving Christmas

Taco Brothers Saving Christmas is a fun, quirky and fast-paced video slot from ELK Studios, and while it’s rarely included with a casino’s bonuses and promotions, it’s well worth mentioning here as it offers even more excitement than the original Taco Brothers slot. The game’s packed with a well-executed free spins bonus round and a running wilds feature – and during the free spins, when one of the wilds lands on the right-hand side it will then start ‘walking’, moving one position to the left-hand side of the screen on each spin.

The free spins bonus round continues until all three brothers have escaped – but ideally, you’ll land Captain Diaz who then locks the wild symbols into place; he can also award you additional free spins, and this is where a lot of the game’s win-potential is found; enough of the wilds locked in place can lead to a massive Christmas bonus!

The Christmas slot ensures that you will be entertained from the moment you first load up the slot – and like many of ELK’s games, Taco Brothers Saving Christmas’ quirky theme makes gameplay genuinely exciting; it’s so different from the norm you can’t help but love it!
