Seasonal events

At certain times of the year—Lunar New Year, the spring equinox, Halloween, Christmas, and so on—live service games kick back and chill out with special events themed for the season. Even serious games become keen to hand out silly hats, give levels a seasonal twist, and maybe introduce some party games.

Red Dead Redemption 2has even fancier dynamic snow, even leaving ridges between your legs as you kick through it. Snowboarding games and other wintersport bonanzas are obviously on top of dynamic snow. Many driving games too, such asForza Horizon 5. AndSnowRunner! Glorious SnowRunner. Ah, please tell me about more good snow.

But which is better?
