If you like old PC games, Lazy Game Reviews always covers something Christmasey on Christmas. Though some of them are just "Well, it has snow." And the actual Christmas themed games are often shovelware holiday reskins.
Oh and while trying to think of mainstream games that actually include Christmas, Parasite Eve came to mind. It's about as much of a Christmas game as Die Hard is a Christmas movie.
There's this old little game free on steam, Sang-Froid - Tales of Werewolves. The devil shows up in December to this little town in rural canada and it's up to a pair of hunters to fend him off. Gameplay is wave base survival with you planning traps during the day and fending them off at night.
Batman: Arkham Origins took place on Christmas and had a lot of decorations and references around town. Arkham City took place in February but had a few decorations scattered about in the snow.
Truck sim (preferably Euro, on night time routes in the rain) with christmas web radio is the one for me. Although it makes me sleepy at the best of times so all the moreso when full of Christmas dinner.
Literally none of them. They're all just extensions of a Macy's and Coca-Cola sponsored Christmas parade, with absolutely nothing to do with Christmas.

Gotta be the Die Hard Games for sega Saturn
Elf Bowling
The Wii literally had a "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town," game, like based on the 1960s movie.
I know because my brother found it in a used games store a few days ago. Never played it so I don't know if it's good, but it's definitely Christmasy.
Parasite Eve, Home Alone…
There’s that God awful Dead Rising 4, but you don’t want to play that.
World of Warships rn
(feat: American Santa Waifu / Russian Snow Maiden captains and even a virtual Christmas tree to dress up among other stuff)

Well, in that case some other ships/captains:

That's an obscure name I never expected to hear again. Solid game.

There's a a Nightmare Before Christmas video game. The review I saw said that the gameplay wasn't good, but the story was.
Pixel Studio just released a little Cave Story Christmas game about delivering presents. It's short, but also free.
Christmas NiGHTS, Daze Before Christmas, and Mission in Snowdriftland come to mind. The Secret of Mana has a section that's deals with Santa.
The christmas level of Hitman: Blood Money. Mission called "You Better Watch Out... "
Daze Before Christmas
All I can think of is the old Home Alone video game
Daze Before Christmas on Sega Genesis.
Home Alone 1 on Sega Genesis, Sega Master System and original Game Boy.
Home Alone 2 on Sega Genesis.
The Grinch on Game Boy Color.
those are my personal recommendations.
Batman Arkham Origins is literally set before and during Christmas Eve/Christmas.
They released a Polar Express video game based off the movie for the PS2, Gamecube, and maybe Xbox. More of a child's game though.
Wow and guild wars both had Christmas in game events
Nights into Dreams had a Christmas themed sampler disc for Sega Saturn in 1996. It was actually great.
Satisfactory has a fun Christmas event.
How the Saints Saved Christmas dlc
