Xmas Around the World

Holiday Gaming Without the Seasonality Problem

Christmas-themed slots have a reputation problem: they’re seen as December-only games that operators shelve for eleven months. Xmas Around the World was built to solve this. By framing the holiday through the lens of global travel and cultural traditions, we’ve created a game that delivers Christmas nostalgia year-round without feeling forced or out of place.

The reality is that nostalgia works any time of year when it’s executed with quality and authenticity. Players don’t need snow outside their window to enjoy a well-crafted holiday experience. They need engaging mechanics, satisfying features, and a theme that makes them feel something. Xmas Around the World delivers all three.

This isn’t a seasonal filler. It’s a permanent addition to your lobby that happens to tap into one of the most universally beloved themes in gaming.

Features That Travel Well

Santa’s Wild Sleigh

Santa’s sleigh doesn’t just appear—it flies across the reels, leaving wild symbols in its path. When it lands, it can expand to cover multiple positions, turning near-misses into significant wins. The sleigh appears randomly during base play and with increased frequency during bonus rounds.

Global Free Spins Journey

Trigger free spins and choose your destination: New York, Tokyo, Sydney, London, or the North Pole. Each location offers a different feature set—some with higher volatility and bigger potential, others with more frequent smaller wins. Players can select their risk profile based on their mood and bankroll.

Gift Box Multipliers

Collect gift box symbols during play to reveal instant multipliers. Boxes can contain 2x, 3x, 5x, or even 10x multipliers that apply to the current spin’s winnings. Stack multiple boxes on a single spin for combined multiplier effects that can transform modest wins into memorable payouts.

Around the World Bonus

Land three bonus symbols and embark on a journey through Christmas traditions across continents. Pick wrapped presents in each country to reveal cash prizes, multipliers, or passage to the next destination. The farther you travel, the bigger the rewards—but one wrong pick ends the journey.

Holiday Jackpot Feature

A progressive jackpot that builds across all players, triggered randomly on any spin. When activated, players spin a festive wheel to determine which jackpot tier they’ve won. Four tiers ensure that jackpot wins happen frequently enough to maintain excitement while keeping the grand prize substantial.

Why Christmas Works Year-Round

The data doesn’t lie. Operators who run quality Christmas slots year-round consistently report engagement levels that rival their non-seasonal titles. The key is execution: cheap reskins of existing games don’t work, but thoughtfully designed holiday experiences absolutely do.

Xmas Around the World succeeds because it’s built on the understanding that nostalgia is timeless. The game evokes childhood memories, family gatherings, and the anticipation of gift-giving—emotions that resonate regardless of the calendar date. The global travel element adds a layer of aspiration and discovery that extends the theme beyond pure nostalgia.
