Holiday Game List
Holiday time is a great time for online games. Seasonal games are fun and they can be a great part of the holiday season. My severely autistic girl likes to play Christmas games with her Auntie when she comes to visit for the winter holidays, but Halloween is her favorite holiday, so I have mostly Halloween and Christmas. You will also find games for some of the other holidays (whatever I find that seems fun) as well as fun fireworks games (to help reduce anxiety on fireworks holidays) below. If you have a fun favorite, I will be happy to add it to the list.
If you need help getting your kids comfortable with online tools, check out our step by step guide to helping kids master basic computer skills.
New Years, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day – Fireworks
I like to show these to my severely autistic daughter before the holiday that will have my neighbors setting off fireworks, so I can prepare her for the noise and give her pretty imagery to go along with the sounds of explosions. There are several phone apps and several on-line games for this – here are a few:
KidzSearchGames offers several Fireworks games here
Here is a silent fireworks game from Primary Games
Click on the dot to make the fireworks pop
Click the Fireworks for points (preload this one – lots of commercials)
Click the matching the red, white and blue colored Fireworks for points
New Year’s Eve simulator – shows the countdown, not great on fireworks though

Sesame Street started my girl’s love of Halloween. Those games are no longer available, but she still loves the videos. Here are some links to some other sites that delight us at Halloween time each year.
Halloween Zuma – Zuma games are all very similar, and holiday themes are fun
Garfield Scary Scavenger Hunt
Garfield Scary Scavenger Hunt 2
What Shall we be for Halloween Song (my girl’s favorite)
Halloween Games on PBS
Room Recess Spooky Games
Poki Halloween Games – this site will be fun for older kids, too
SafeKids Halloween Games
Puzzles and more – not all these games work but this one is fun
Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza
I did a large list of winter holiday games and I try to keep it up to date – this full list was last reviewed in October, 2023. I started the list on Facebook but they will no longer allow me to edit it.
I also want to say, regarding holidays, that getting the perfect holiday card is so much easier with Jib Jab. I can use any smiling picture of my kids to make a sweet holiday card that I can share via email or social media – and I don’t have to make myself crazy trying to get everything just right for the perfect holiday photo. Our lives are super complicated, so I love stuff that makes my life (like letting the grocery store cook the holiday meal!).
