Apps With Holiday-Themed Updates And Special Editions
There are many apps that we are familiar with and love no matter what time of year it is. Many of these apps have added fun holiday extras, or even released a separate app for the occasion, to help celebrate this festive season. Here is a collection of apps that are all decked out for Christmas. They are sure to get you into the holiday spirit.
Robot Unicorn Attack Christmas Edition
If you are a fan of the original game, Robot Unicorn Attack, you will love Robot Unicorn Attack Christmas Edition. It is a separate app that oozes quirky Christmas charm. Running through this wintery, otherwordly land is fun from every angle.
Clash of Clans
While building villages and battling goblins in Clash of Clans, take some time to enjoy the special holiday updates. Christmas sounds and snowy sights have been added. In addition, you can search for hidden jingle-bearing trees. Feeling frisky? Use the limited edition defense, Santa Strike, to call for an air strike of explosive presents.
Beyond Ynth Xmas Edition
Those who enjoy Beyond Ynth will definitely enjoy this separate "Xmas Edition." If you are not familiar with this game, it is an adventure and puzzler game. You play as a little ladybug who is on a very challenging journey. This game is a gift from the app's developers, and a very merry one at that.
Shatoetry
Shatoetry requires you to pick the words that you'd like to make up your "Shatism." Choose how many pauses you want in your sentence or phrase, and William Shatner will recite what you've created. In this Christmas update, there are holiday-themed backgrounds and words to make your Shatism even more appropriate for the season.
Subway Surfers
Subway Surfers will have you jumping, ducking, and dodging trains. Now that the holidays are here, you are able to surf through the snow-covered city of London. There is a limited edition Snowflake board to add to your limited edition items, a weekly Secret Holiday Gift to unlock, and more.
Cut the Rope: Holiday Gift
The cute little monster, Om Nom, is ready for the season in Cut the Rope: Holiday Gift. His box is dressed up for the holidays with candy canes, stockings, and other festive gear. Once in a while, he may pop up with a pair of antlers or a Santa hat as you are feeding him his Christmas candy. You're also able to make a holiday greeting card with Om Nom.
