Christmas Music in Video Games
The Christmas season is seldom represented in video games (other than in Christmas-themed patches https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQsHSKs3Vq4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNoNMsKeHZ0).
And, so, Christmas-themed music is also underrepresented. So I thought it'd be nice to dedicate a topic just for this. Post your favorite examples of holiday season tunes (can be traditional or original) found in video games. Even better if there's a soundtrack for it! I'll start: This one's a strange occurrence: it's a video game from an animé. Not only that; it received a soundtrack release, and an arranged one at that! One stage happened to take place at Juuban's Shopping District during Christmas. |

Yes! I have a playlist at the moment, which contains Christmas and Winter-related songs. I am certain I have more than this but it's a case of finding it all.

Wow, what a list! Am I right in assuming you also seasonalize your music?

Nope, I've only done it for winter/xmas, because other seasons are more difficult to pin down musically/have less common themes. Plus there's so many covers of traditional Christmas songs, in videogames and elsewhere, that it makes it worthwhile. The way I'm doing this is by writing an "#xmas" tag in the Genre field, then keeping an autoplaylist in foobar2000 that looks there. It's not very elegant and honestly anathema to many music collectors, but it works well for me.
