Sleigh Ride: The Best Christmas Mobile Game Apps

In the last category we have selected some of the most beautiful Christmas versions of popular mobile games for you.

Doodle Jump Christmas Special

The classic game "Doodle Jump" is also a lot of fun in the Christmas season.

However, the game world in the Christmas version is completely adapted to the winter time.

Unfortunately, there is currently neither the Christmas edition nor the first part of Doodle Jump in the Google Play Store, where you could freely choose the winter and Christmas scenario at the bottom of the screen. If you want to hop through Winter Doodle Land on Android, you have to download the installation file and then install the APK manually.
