Well, there was an advanture game based on the Batman Returns movie, which was sort-of a Christmas movie, so maybe the game has a bit of that feel as well.

Also, A Vampyre Story while doesn't specifically mention Christmas has a kind of connection to both Halloween and Christmas in the atmosphere it conjures. Maybe thanks to that other Tim Burton movie.

Mobygames has a category called "Christmas themed games".

http://www.mobygames.com/game-group/...s-themed-games

Not sure if there are any adventures among those games though.

I believe Jack in the Dark is the only adventure game in the list. It was a kind of a Christmas special short game made to showcase Alone in the Dark 2. I think AitD2 was also set during Christmas, but there wasn't much evidence of that in the game that I can remember (except Jingle Bells heard during the opening credits).

Yeah, this is the only one I know of that's specifically themed around Christmas. You could play the Syberia games of course for the wintery feel.

Is that something that involves Batman's gas bombs?
