'Ski or Squeal' in Angry Birds Seasons' new Advent calendar episode

’Tis the season once again … for the rollout of the Advent calendar episode of Angry Birds Seasons.

In holiday seasons past, the seasonal edition of Rovio’s hugely popular Angry Birds physics-based puzzle game has featured such holiday-themed episodes as “Wreck the Halls,” “Winter Wonderham,” and “On Finn Ice.”

A new level every day

Now, Angry Birds Seasons is presenting a new episode called “Ski or Squeal” featuring 25 new skiing-themed, 80s-inspired levels. Being an Advent calendar episode, “Ski or Squeal” sees the release of new levels one by one, with a new level unlocked every day beginning today, Dec. 1, and concluding on Christmas Day, Dec. 25.

“Ring in the holidays – angry style, with an all new Advent calendar episode full of awesome levels,” Rovio notes. “Open a little gift from Angry Birds every day and count down the days until Christmas!”
